Many of you have been asking for it, so there it is: Acousticsamples libraries can be used without the need of an iLok usb key.

How does it work?
The protection is still provided by iLok, but you can register the license to your computer instead of the iLok usb key. Of course you will still be able to use the iLok key. One of the great features of that new system is that you can move the license around, it can be moved from a computer to another, then to an iLok key, and it is as easy as a simple drag and drop thanks to the iLok license manager.

Can i have it?
All new purchases (and the ones made since december 5th) can benefit from this new system, all you need to do is register normally and follow the usual process.

What requirements?
You will need to download the latest version of UVI Workstation (2.1.9) and also use the latest version of the iLok license manager. You also need to use OSX 10.6 or later or windows XP or later. If you use 10.5, our libraries still work, but they require an older version of UVI Workstation and the older UFS files, plus the iLok key is mandatory.

AudioThing is offering a 20% discount on all products for December 2013. Until the 31st you can use the coupon code XMAS13 at the checkout.

AudioThing is also giving away one sample library every day until December 25th, to a random subscriber from their Newsletter. Winners will receive an email with a download link.
