The new "offline" license system is awfull

Ever since last year, I started my own software liberation initiative. In short: Disabling the DRMs on the softwares/games I own through the use of "no-cd cracks".

Long story short, I've been praising Image-Line for allowing legitimate users to unlock their products without being online dependent. I even made a spreadsheet to categorize the VSTs/audio programs I own that are either DRM-Free or Liberated (after I patched them). And if a program has absolutely workaround, I flat-out stop using them.

--

Alas, when I went to activate 20.9 offline by getting my Reg key, it all fell appart.

(Refer to the picture)


Yep, seems like IL sold their soul to the devil.

That ruined my day, no exaggeration.


I can no longer be at peace of mind now knowing that I am now forced to have internet to activate FL.

I'm often thinking about going back to 20.8.4 and never updating again.



I hope the system will eventually be reverted, once there's enough backlash or something, idk.





For anyone wondering, once defeated, DRMs are useless, pirates will have no issues going around the limitations.

I doubt my singular soul complaining will change anything, unfortunately, but I might as well say what I want.
