Sorry for the dumb question, but do you guys get the "Do you want to allow changes from an unknown publisher" every time you open the stand alone?

Right click on the shortcut and select "Open File Location".  If that takes you to another shortcut
do the same.  Once you get to where the executable is right click and go to "Properties" and then
the the "Compatibility" tab and make sure to check "run as administrator" and that should
eleviate that problem

But I am an admin, always have been....I'll do it anyway.Thanks!
 
PS - didn't work. I'll wander down that path a little deeper.... Amp 3 opens fine.  CS4 gets the allow thingy as well.

Running as admin should not be required.  Please contact support and they'll figure out what's up.

Let us pray to Allah that this will be sorted out. Giving IK a benefit of the doubt that this will be rectified, fixed to the just and moral end point that we all deserve.
 
My problem is with the bait under the nose approach. We have seen this cancer enveloping so many software business models. It is sad, it is pathetic, but everywhere now. IK is no different under evolving market stress than the next guy. They are just marching to the new drummer. Not just music software anymore. You get what you thought to be a complete package only to find a significant portion of the product disabled. It is no longer about your up front cash purchase. It is the "now I got you" fine print that depends on continued, calculated expense to get what you thought you had up front.
 
Have to reiterate, that IK spoke truth about everything in Amp 3 being migrated into A4, so I really got no soapbox to stand on in this regard. Giving this to them, and A4 is a decent  increment over A3, though no Wow factor is there, as many have testified. Guess my wish is that the grayed out crap that disables presets and settings you haven't opened the plastic card would disappear. I don't need no adds, no incentives, no marketing garbage. Don't need to spend another dime. Just make the extra incentive **** disappear so I don't have to wade through crap to find a functional preset that has not been disabled.

Opened ANOTHER ticket, and now the wait(24 hours if I'm not mistaken).. Maybe they could answer the phone instead...........
 
PS - I came into this with an open mind. I have no axe to grind, but I spent all of my career in customer service(technical) and it seems that it is now on the back burner. As in, we can't answer the phone, and I'm so busy I can't read your email til tomorrow. Hang tight, and when we're good and ready, we'll send help.
 
2nd PS(kinda like 2nd breakfast) - How about an online chat? I have pretty good luck with those.

That's what I thought.  And so it goes.
 
But thanks so much for fixing the speaker thingy:-)
 

Can someone explain what the "fix" is for the speaker?  I know that some speakers are grayed out, and I guess this is because I have not purchased those cabs, but what exactly is the fix? 

I wonder if  charlyg's problem is Windows 10 related. I upgraded to 10 and everything was great for 24 hours. Then the firewall blocked my interface. I tried for a few minutes to figure it out...and then went back to Windows 7. I could be way off base here, but I'm not having any issues with Amplitube 4 (other than the speaker deal).

The fix will be in an update tomorrow (if testing goes well) from IK in your users account. Amplitube 4.01 I would guess.

I'll be back with my popcorn. This is gonna have more action than a James Bond movie.

Lightly salted with butter, please.  

Better hold off the salt & butter for me........my blood pressure is already hitting the roof and now going into full blown cardiac arrest.
 
Somebody please revive me...........I certainly won't mind if you're BIAS about it.

I've been on Win 10 for a couple of months as least, it seems. Haven't had too much to gripe about. Everything is working as it should. And my issue isn't just this small problem with a work around(clicking yes), it's about the general feeling about how they treat paying customers with ANY kind of issue. The stock answer is put in a ticket and wait. No attempt at all to "nip it in the bud."
