Asked for authorization code again?

[erosjade]

I was working on some beats on EZDrummer, and had no problems until now. I brought up EZDrummer again and it asked me for my authorization code all of a sudden. So I logged in the site, and copy/pasted the one I already had thinking this would fix the problem. EZDrummer did not accept my code and I was forced to authorize again creating a new PC-ID, wasting another slot. Now that leaves me with 2/4 slots left, and this makes me a very upset. I don’t know why it forced me to authorize again, and I don’t know if it will do that again in the future. I want to know if there is a way to delete the old PC-ID so I may have my wasted slot back. I don’t think it was very fair I was robbed of a slot, and who knows if that may happen again.

See this FAQ and let me know if any of it relates to your problem.

This just happened to me also. Luckily, I figured out that the copy protection system may be incredibly stupid, and I was right.
I qoute from the aforementioned FAQ:

“….in particular disabling your network device or wireless modem.”
“Other major changes such as replacing your motherboard or internal harddrives could also cause the computer ID to change”

**** Since when was disabling the wifi card a MAJOR change? ***

I disable WiFi before I start recording, so I’ll not risk it creating interrupts interfering with my recording.
If I’m to continue using the Toontrack products I’ve spent a lot of money buying, I’ll have to get used to disabling my WiFI *after* loading the plugins.

The copy-protection was cracked about 7 minutes after you released EZdrummer; all you are doing is creating problems for your loyal customers.
This is beyond stupid.

Luckily, Toontrack isn’t the only company around.
(Native-Instruments Studio Drummer sounds better too, and their copy-protection, whilst stupid, ain’t THIS stupid)
