Just thought I would point out this blowout sale of 3 Air Products. Must be a bargain for somebody?

I read somwhere that some Air products automatically install old iLok software that override newer ones and users had all sort of plroblems.
Can you provide a link?
Haven’t seen that and the iLOK installer should itself not override a previous version, and if it does you can always put the latest version on yourself…

Happened to me, installing Loom 2. I then re-installed the latest iLok package, not a real annoyance.
I have 20+ iLok plugins on my studio computer but since I always have in mind to use it live I try to avoid iLok.
If I choose an instrument/FX I always check if a non iLok tool fits the purpose. Thats why most of my iLok plugins are redundant (except Gullfoss).
Sounds weird. My music-PCs are BSOD free. I have lots of VSTs iLok protected, too.
It’s me? Maybe the tweaks made with love?
I don’t know, just luck?
I’m also using i-Lok with no issue. It’s tempting to buy more licenses just in case I want to gift them. For a musician just getting into VST’s this package covers a lot of ground.
EDIT - I tried to find the link for what I saw a few days ago on pluginboutique which if I recall correctly was Velvet, Hybrid3 and Expand 2 for $9.99. Don’t see that offer now.
Sorry, I forgot to post the link!

I’ve used Hybrid quite a bit over the years. Lots of great presets although selecting one from the various banks is a bit fiddly. Velvet- no, I have other EP apps I like better, and MiniGrand- the same as for Velvet.
Due to currency conversion, I paid 16% less than $9.99, a good deal. Plus, Velvet and MiniGrand are not at all CPU hungry.
I love the AIR Music Technology products. Xpand2 and Structure are two of my go-to instruments and unquestionably a great value for the few dollars you spend. ILOK is a pain, but has never been a problem for me in a live performance setting.
Indeed, there will be better out there but a bargain for somebody on a budget who does not already have equivalents.
