I appreciate that software companies must use some form of copy protection in order to prevent piracy.
I'm all for ilok, in fact. Or serial numbers. I don't even mind Native Instrument's 'service center'.
I bought the FXpansion DCam synth squad a while back. Had some trouble installing it on my machine. I actually ran out of authorizations so they were gracious enough to give me some more. I've used those up now (p*ssing about getting things working nicely).

I understand it's pretty much my fault but the anti-piracy systems employed these days are so bloody convoluted.

So I emailed them nearly a week ago asking for assistance. Nada. Not a sausage.

Presently I have some nice looking icons sat on my desktop but can't start the bloody things.

I've sent some follow-up emails but can't get a response. Ho hum.

If I'd know what type of system they employed before purchase, I'd probably not have bought it.

There. I feel better now.

I got the whole set as well and had no issues installing them. Weird.

Have you tried contacting Angus at FXPansion?
he's a top bloke and will respond if he is there.

Hello mate. In the interests of fairness, the installation aggro was completely of my own doing. I had no troubles installing the software and could get it running, but I was trying to run it on vista and had a world of troubles.
I'm back on my mac now, though, and I'd like to just chuck them on again.

Zucan, I don't suppose you have an email addy for Angus, do you?

Yes I do m8, but it's a personal addy.

Try support and say you got recommended via Samplecraze.

Hmm... The reason I'm venting here (if you pardon the pun) is because support isn't answering my mails.

Okay I've emailed their (lack of) support team a link to this thread.

If emails don't work, pick up the phone. A lot of companies are a bit haphazard about email support, but will talk to a human being.

akshully if you post on their forum you get a response pretty much straight away.
It annoys them, but it does expedite the process....
