Dear Customers,

now it is possible to generate temporary keys for nearly all devices.
So you will become able to test the devices in which you are interested.

If you want to get a demo-key, please proceed as follows :

-Download the desired device from our server:

ftp://sonic-core.net/software/3rd_Party/
or
ftp://sonic-core.net/software/SCOPE_Family/nokeys_OXE/


Installation of Zip-files:

After you unpacked the Zip-file, please copy

*.dev to C:\Scope\Devices\Plug-Ins
*.dsp to C:\Scope\APP\DSP
*.sys to C:\Scope\APP\Sys
*.pre to C:\Scope\Presets
*.DLL to C:\Program Files\Your Sequencer\VSTplugins\XTC


Installation of OXE-files:

- close your Scope software
- copy the relevant OXE-file to Scope\APP\OXE
- Start the Scope software and the device will be installed


The following instructions are valid for both forms of installation:

If you load the device for the first time, by loading it from the Plugin menue into the routing window, a registration-dialogue-box appears whitch contains a requeststring.

Please use the copy to clipboard button to copy the requeststring into the clipboard of your system.

Now create an email, paste the requeststring into it ( STRG + V ) and send it to my adress: RB@Soniccore.de


I will provide you with a timelimited demokey. Fill in this key into the line “Activation Key” of the registration-dialogue-box. After the entry you should restart the Scope software.


Have fun while testing.
Ralf Bach / Sonic Core



-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Es ist nun möglich für nahezu jedes Device eine temporäre Freischaltung zu erzeugen,
Somit können Sie ein Device, welches Sie interessiert ersteinmal ausgiebig testen.

Sollten Sie einen temporären Key zum testen benötigen, dann gehen Sie vor wie folgt :


-Laden Sie Sich das Device Ihrer Wahl von unserem Server herunter:

ftp://sonic-core.net/software/3rd_Party/
oder
ftp://sonic-core.net/software/SCOPE_Family/nokeys_OXE/


Installation von Zip-Files:

Nach dem entpacken des Zip-Files kopieren Sie

*.dev nach C:\Scope\Devices\Plug-Ins
*.dsp nach C:\Scope\APP\DSP
*.sys nach C:\Scope\APP\Sys
*.pre nach C:\Scope\Presets
*.DLL nach C:\Programme\Your Sequencer\VSTplugins\XTC


Installation von OXE-Dateien:

- Schliessen Sie die Scope Software
- Kopieren Sie die entsprechende OXE-Datei nach Scope\APP\OXE
- Starten Sie die Scope Software und das Device wird installiert.



Ab hier gelten die Anweisungen für beide Formen der Installation.

Wenn Sie das Device nun erstmalig benutzen möchten, dann erscheint eine
Registrations-Dialog-Box mit einem Request-String.

Mithilfe des Copy to Clipboard Buttons kopieren Sie diesen Request-String in
die Zwischenablage Ihres Rechners.

Fügen Sie den Request-String in eine Email ein ( STRG + V ) und senden Sie diese Email
an meine Adresse : RB@Soniccore.de

Ich werde Ihnen dann einen Temporären Key zusenden, welchen Sie dann in der
Registrations-Dialog-Box eingeben ( Zeile Activation Key ).
Nach der Eingabe sollte die Scope Software neu gestartet werden.

Viel Spaß beim testen.
Ralf Bach / Sonic Core

hi ralf,

how long will the time limit be? will the devices cease to work after a given date or usage time? and is it be possible to apply for a second trial period in case the timeframe is too short?
nice improvement, btw. I hope to see that feature on the new MyPage, should it ever return... :wink:

-greetings, markus-

Hi kylie,

>>> how long will the time limit be?
We will see, but long enough to get a realistic view

>>>will the devices cease to work after a given date or usage time?
yes, after the given usage time

>>>and is it be possible to apply for a second trial
no

all the best

Thanks a lot, I think that this is one of the best "move" to increase new customers!
Finally a bit of marketing for S|C products 8)

Hey, Ralf, does is possible to try also X-ite and/or OS 5.0 for a time limit... :P

:lol:

Just kidding, good work, guys :wink:

as far as I understand this, yes. he even pointed to the 3rd party folder on their ftp, so as long as they sell it in their shop and generate regular keys for it, they should be able to issue temp keys as well.
there are other developers having their own "protection" scheme, but usually they offer demos, too.

So cool :D

I wonder if he'll have the time to generate all my key requests :lol:

I find it always reassuring to demo

send them off in one go, so it's a one time task for him. and be sure to watch the transfer strings, since the copy and paste mechanism doesn't always work as expected... ;)

I got myself a clipboard manager for that purpose. never had trouble again...
the issue is that that content seems to be written to the buffer only if it was empty. pressing the copy button does not overwrite the existing content if you do another request.
manually emptying the clipboard via clipbrd.exe does the trick, but... :wink:
well, that's at least my observation.

It appears to be the Arpeg02. At least that's what I found in the /Devices root-folder after downloading the oxe-file.
It's excellent that demo-codes are back. 8)
