Big Brother Is Watching You, installer Kontakt sous OSX Options

[oliv333]

Autoriser Kontakt c’est très simple, on a un serial number, un username, un password, et un system id …
Muni de toutes ces infos et d’une connection internet haut débit, insérer le cd d’origine, lancer l’installation, puis le logiciel d’autorisation.
Répondre à mille question en faisant bien gaffe à donner les bonnes réponses, attendre que monsieur NI ait fini de scanner vos disques (eh oui) et ensuite prier très fort pour que le grand gourou accepte de vous renvoyer le code à 60 chiffres qui permettra enfin de lancer Kontakt et de le paramétrer …
Si vous aimez les jeux de piste et les bonnes grosses prises de tête vous allez être à la fête, exemple :

On account of a bug in Internet Explorer 6.0 you may experience problems with NI registration and the NI Online Shop. More info here...

Ou encore :
Too Many Authorizations

You have changed the hardware configuration of your audio computer more than once. Under the license agreement only two installations are allowed.
If you are no longer using the software with the previously registered hardware configuration, you can deactivate the authorization for that specific configuration using the following form:
Manage Authorizations

« You have changed the hardware configuration of your audio computer more than once », c’est vrai quoi, c’est interdit ça, pas changer d’OS, pas changer de dur, pas changer de machine …

Ensuite ça devient encore plus drole, parce que en cliquant sur manage authorization, il me compte 2 Kontakt sous OSX, qui sont effectivement installés mais qui ne fonctionnent pas, puisque aucun n’est autorisé, raison pour laquelle j’ai fait tout ça …

Alors pourquoi pas déactivate ? Allons y, ça donne :

Deactivate Hardware Profile

Are you sure you want to deactivate this authorization?
Please note that you will not be able to authorize the same product for this hardware configuration again.

Deactivating the hardware profile can not be undone


Ah, on s’amuse bien avec Native … C’est amusant quoi, tu payes … pour rien, et si tu désactive, tu désactive ton disque pour toujours, c’est les nouvelles protections anti piratage … très très efficace ... contre les pirates je sais pas mais contre les clients enregistrés c'est terrible ...

Bon, soyons clair, dès que j’ai un peu d’argent j’achète Mach5 et je revends cette dau… pardon cet excellent logiciel qu’est Kontakt.
C’est vrai, c’est un très bon logiciel (sous os9), dommage que l’éditeur soit juste un peu plus parano que big brother …

c'est quand même très étrange ton affaire. As-tu lu ceci ?

What kind of information makes up the System ID?
The System ID is generated using basic components of the computer: the CPU-family (like P3, P4, XP), operating system (revisions and updates are not considered), startup hard disk and date of installation. This System ID is a completely unique number that serves only to identify your computer and does not include any personal data or other information.

Do I need a new Authorization Key if I change my computer’s components?
The System ID is based on fundamental components of the computer that are very seldom changed. Therefore you will NOT need a new authorization if you change your audio card, MIDI interface, model, network card or external devices. If you however change your CPU (i.e. from P3 to P4), operating system (i.e. from Win 98 to Win XP - note that updates of your OS will not change your System ID), or your startup harddisk components a new authorization will be necessary. Each product can be authorized for two different hardware profiles (e.g. desktop and laptop). If you need a third authorization you must first deactivate one of your two existing hardware profiles. How to do this is explained in our new deactivation help...

What happens if I have to change my CPU or hard drive right before a performance? Do I have to authorize the product right away?
You’ll be able to perform with no problem. Remember that your Native Instruments product only has to be registered within 30 days*. During these 30 days (and during your performance) the software will work without any limitations.

et ceci :

Mac only: Can I use my product on two computers, each with OS 9 and OS X?
Yes, this is an exception made on account of the high number of Mac users who are still working on two operating systems. This option is valid until the majority of users are working with Mac OS X only.
Therefore you can use your product on a laptop and a desktop, with both OS X and OS 9. This means you get up to 4 authorization keys. However, they will only function on the two computers. You will not be able to install and authorize your product on four independent computers.

Et le support Native, qu'est-ce qu'il en pense de ton affaire ?
