Question

elicense control error

Hello all. Everytime i try to start logic without my nexus license dongle i get the eLicense control error and logic refuses to start. The problem is that I do a lot of work in logic on the plane and in hotel rooms and don't always have my license key handy. I should still be able to work on that session and just not access those particular plug ins unless i have the key installed. I don't see why i cannot even get the session to open. Does anyone know a workaround for this. I am buying the uad satellite bundle and im sure im going to have the same problem with this. But my main goal is to be able to open any track and work on a particular part weather or not my license is plugged in. This is how it is in ableton. The session will open but i just cant access nexus or UAD. PLEASE HELP

Excellent suggestion....

If that doesn't work the OP could just move the Nexus AU out of the Components folder before starting an "on the road" session.

That would be in Root/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components

Logic never did have graceful exit strategies... if it finds something amiss it often tends to freeze or crash.

Hi, Nick.

I have an elicencers for Arturia and cubase. You can select to put a new licence on a usb or on a specific computer as a software licence. This does not require a dongle, and is machine specific.

The only drawback is that that machine alone will hold your licences. If you don't use more than one this could work for all your products.

You may have to cancell the existing usb licence before you make the licence computer based. If you aren't sure about how to do any of this contact elicencer support.

Regards

Peter North.
