Hi folks.
I'm a couple months away from getting the new Windows 7 DAW.
This old XP box is doing fine, and I'm probably going to keep it
for storage, Office applications, email etc.
But is it practical to keep the new DAW offline entirely, disable
internet-related services etc.? I realize that results in a more
stable system and less vulnerability, but do any of our audio
applications need to be authorized online on the same machine on
which they run? For example, Waves plug-ins and others rely on
iLock authorization. But I'm pretty sure in that instance, there's
no reason why you can't download authorizations onto your key and
then move it to the offline machine - that's one of the cool things
about the iLock.
Heck, what about Jaws 12 and Freedom Scientific's annoying
authorization scheme?
For those of you with a DAW completely removed from the Internet,
have you run into any unforseen pitfalls?
thanks
Chris
