FAQ: Copy Protection

I want to start a trial, but am being asked for an Activation Code – what am I missing?

To start a free trial, please select TRY when the Activation Wizard window opens, and not ACTIVATE. TRY will generate a trial license and deposit it to either the HD of your computer or a connected iLok 2 or newer USB device, depending on your choice.

For a detailed, step-by-step guide to activation of trials and full versions, please refer to this guide. Should you have any questions not answered in the guide, please contact us at any time.

Legacy Copy Protection Support

As of April 2nd, 2017, we are phasing out the eSellerate copy protection system in favor of the flexibility, compatibility, user-friendliness and security advantages the PACE system offers. All new purchases, bundles and trial versions use PACE as of this date. Users of previous, non-PACE protected versions can cross-grade free of charge.

Should you wish to keep using the eSellerate version of UNVEIL, UNFILTER, UNCHIRP, PITCHMAP or ZAP v1, you can do so. Here's what you need to know:

 

  • We will maintain, update and support the eSellerate versions up to but not including the next major version update (2.0) for each of UNVEIL, UNFILTER, UNCHIRP and PITCHMAP.
  • Any functionality added while the current major version number (1.x) is in effect will be ported to both copy protection systems.
  • We may, however, skip some "dot updates" on either branch if the changes relate only to the copy protection system.
  • In a nutshell: your UNVEIL, UNFILTER, UNCHIRP and PITCHMAP using eSellerate will be the same plugin as the PACE-protected version (except for the copy protection, of course), until we hit version 2 – which will be PACE only. At this point, updates for the eSellerate version will stop.
  • If reasonably possible, at our sole discretion, we may decide to provide minor compatibility fixes for the eSellerate versions beyond that point.
  • At that point, we will keep the last eSellerate version available for download for as long as reasonably possible, and we will not shut down the activation system – so your eSellerate v1.x software will keep working, unless eSellerate makes the unlikely decision to discontinue the service – over which decision we obviously have no influence. Should that happen, you may of course still perform the free cross-grade to the PACE version.
  • We will keep providing email support for the eSellerate versions for a reasonable amount of time past the update cutoff date; however, it may obviously not be possible to solve issues related to compatibility of the eSellerate copy protection system that would require code updates.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, please contact us.
