So i bought Cubase over the summer and it came with a copy protection key a.k.a. dongle. I've lost it. But cubase wont replace it, they tell me that i need to buy Cubase all again. I will not buy it again...and if I find my key I'm selling Cubase. I have started to look into Protools LE and M-powered. I'm a fan of the M-Audio Firewire 410 interface and would like to use that with the M-Powered software.
There is something included with M-Powered (not included with LE) called an iLok though. Is this one of those dongle things that I will probably lose? |

The iLoc is a similar device to the dongle, which it licensed for specifically when you purchased and registered the software, plus any other plug-ins made Cubase will have to set-up through the licensing center. I know something had to happen to get control over all the illegal activity that was ramp-id throughout the music community. It is very frustrating, because I carry mine on my key chain, because it is always with me no matter where I go. The problem is that half of the part the hooks to the key is broke-off, causing me to have a concern about what to do if for some reason it finishes breaking and no longer works. I am worried about have to purchase some majority to get the dongle. This is crazy, to have to go to such extremes that you paid an arm and a leg for. There must be a better way to care of customers who legitimately have purchased and used the product appropriately. Good Luck!!!
