This is one good thing about Nomad compared to RND (that, is a tragic tale in itself, 80's style corporate raiding almost), Nomad give three unlocks before you have to email them for more. When my logic board on the laptop died, Nomad was easily one of the easiest instals. Audio Ease was the worst by far, and one unlock like RND.leedsquietman wrote: One cautionary tale - I recently had a computer die on me which had 2 RND plugins authorized by challenge and response. They gave me ONE unlock when the machine first required a HD reinstall ( and I hadn't backed up for a while and didn't have the licences on backup) and when it totally died recently, RND has now gone to the wall and ceased trading so I lost those plugins - if I'd chosen the I-Lok route, I would have still been easily able to authorize those plugins again. So sometimes, a dongle isn't always the worst option ...
I would be OK with an iLock if I had all my plug ins on a Receptor racked in a big road case that wasn't easily walked off with, and that's about it.
