My first Toontrack product was EZ Drummer which I think I purchased in 2005 or 2006. I have purchased several EZ Drummer add-ons over the years. The computer ID which was generated offline was a 13 digit number. When I got Superior Drummer and it’s add-ons, the same computer ID was generated and everything went well. When I installed EZ Drummer 2 a 21 digit computer ID was generated. This was from the very same offline computer. Technical support suggested I just authorize online. Before, if you authorized online, a different computer ID was generated because of the hardware change. When the WIFI was disabled the programs wouldn’t work. I don’t know if that is the case now. I do like Superior drummer better and the new EZX’s work in it.It does want me to re-authorize the Allaire program and EZD2 pop/rock although they are showing as authorized in my account.
So………………I have all the EZ drummer programs running under a 21 digit computer ID and the Superior Drummer stuff running under a 13 digit computer ID. Same computer, same hardware, same everything. These new ID’s only showed up with EZD2. I am not keen on running the DAW computer with the internet connected because all the DAW computer builders and other experts do not recommend it. This computer is strictly for recording. The only software on it is the OS which is Win 7, Cubase 7.5, Focusrite mix control, Adobe PDF reader for the manuals and of course hundreds of dollars worth of Toontrack software.

One last thing, this computer doesn’t have a built in WIFI chip on the motherboard. No video chip either. I use a USB plugin device the cable company gave me. I only use that for software updates and remove it after.
Please advise.
