While I don't peg this community as being too hip-hop/pop forward, I KNOW I'm not the only person who is completely freaking done with Antares and their licensing hiccups. Thank the lord my current issues came up as CrispyTune went up for sale or I'd be damn lost and OUT OF WORK given the genre-context I'm in. It's an unfortunate necessity with most of these artists. Usually I can "get away" with not having the C800G, but if I told somebody "no auto-tune" they would walk out before I could start the meter.
I NEVER had a problem with iLok, but presumably in the interest of saving a few bucks, Antares moved to their own completely broken licensing system operating through their Install Portal (AutoTune Central). There isn't a SINGLE engineer in my circle that hasn't had to submit a support ticket for this same issue or the simple fact that prior updates weren't backwards compatible and everyone lost all of their settings on legacy work.
For context of my issue, the installed and activated licenses are not being seen, so my GUIs are all locked. I contacted Support who sent me a separate "License Cleaner" that is supposed to remove all traces of Antares Licenses, after which I'd be able to reinstall... no dice!
The engineering community has made these guys SO DAMN RICH over the course of the past decade, for them to knowingly port over to a buggy license system so that they don't have to pay iLok is a gigantic slap in the face to EVERYBODY who made them what they are today. Freaking DESPICABLE!
