This doesn’t make sense to me. Yes, it’s downloadable, copyrighted content, but it’s not possible to use it without a key. That key is clearly monitored by you as you claim to know the software has been installed and used. There’s no way of using the software/samples without a key. You won’t be able to use the same key twice, because on install, the program that monitors your installs will report back to base and immediately know the key is already used.  Also, if memory serves, you can’t even download without going through the installer. You can’t just go to the website and download a library, so you know exactly what’s going on here.

On  top of this, you clearly can offer time limited trials because you do it with with EZDrummer, EZKeys et al. So there is absolutely no technical reason why you can’t offer the same for sample libraries. I think you are harming your own potential sales by not offering it.

As I have stated above, the extensive demos are basically useless because you are not trying them in-situ. You’re listening to them in a different environment, on a web site, not on your DAW, with different instrumentation. You can get flavour of it, but not a proper test of how suitable it.

Also, there is the issue that you can transfer your licence to a different user (which is a great thing) for a  transfer fee, which again, shows any of this kind of thing is possible, you just choose not.

Your tag line above is:

Make Music it’s easy.

It really isn’t.

1. Direct

2. Big Rock Drums (although which pack is not relevant)

3, The former and I am not blaming the company for my mistake.

4. I fundamentally disagree on almost all of the rest. I listened to packs over and over again on the web site trying to judge what would work best for us.
