I only can say one thing, and maybe I am really really jumping the gun here,
so if so, forgive me, but ok, now you're telling me in addition to ProTools
not offerring much sollution to the accessibility problems that we've been
discussing on list for god knows now how long, but now you're telling me
that the ILok can't be managed online anymore except by a manager which
isn't accessible? OK, I'm sorry to say this, but I purchase a log of
plugins to use both for myself and for my clients when they come to record,
plus, I'm not able to use the full capassity of my hard drive to it's full
potential as I have to dule boot between 10.6 and 10.8. I want 10.8
primarily, but I'm not about! to put PT on an ML partition, I'm sorry, but
it's just not gonna happenb. Some of you may say, well, so I can't read the
tempo, so I can't read the counter clusters, etc. I'll deal with it. folks?
I? can't! deal with it! I have a job to run here, and part of that is
getting clients the best sound I can get them. I'm sorry, but I'm not
making a client pay x amount of dollars while because of not being able to
read the counters, I sit here manually by ear trying to nudge things just to
the right place on the ruler. Now, the ILok is doing what it's doing?
Granted it's not Avid that is responsible for ILok, I'll grant you that
fact, but this is ridiculous! I swear I'm about ready to throw my PT out
the window, go back to Sonar and say to hell with it. I really, really,
really! don't wanna do that, but if it's gonna mean accessibility degrading
this much, I don't have time in my business to sit here waiting on things to
be fixed. there is a high enough demand for my services, that I need up to
date technology, and if I can't even expect to see improvements being made
with updates, then, I find it a bit stupid, quite frankly put, for me to
keep over and over just waiting. I think that Slau is a wonderful wonderful
gentlemen, and I think we owe him more than words ever could comprehensibly
express of gratitude for his unfailing commitment, as he's not let us down
yet even once, but that being said, let's be very very realistic. Slau has
talked over and over and over again to Avid, and these other companies, and
I do think some of the devs he's worked with, and c e o's he's talked to
etc. seem to get it, but once put into perspective, it seems like the
commitment he's providing is being squashed, and frankly, I don't think that
is fair to us as blind individuals. More importantly than us, I don't think
it's at all fair to slau himself!
I dono. I'll keep PT for now, but I'm telling you something now. If I
don't start seeing improvement over the next rest of this year, between say
now and next January, I'm seriously going to reconsider my workflow. I have
nothing against any of you who may strongly object to my opinion, but please
understand where I am coming from as well, and really think long and hard
about what I'm saying. It's just not worth me continuing to invest money in
a company who promises improvement yet then doesn't seem to follow through.
I'll admit this thread's about ILok, not ProTools, but it all goes hand in
hand. If you're telling me ILok isn't manageable accessibly anymore, then
basically what you're also telling me by not! telling me, is that any new PT
customers who're blind unlessx they get an ILok that comes with PT with the
license already on it, are going to be... pardon the language... F***ed!
Mainly, because they won't have any way without sighted help to license the
product. I'm sorry, but that in itself to me is all the reason to be a deal
breaker.
Just my two cents worth. I didn't say you have to agree with me, but I'll
say this, agree to disagree, as frankly, I've had a bad enough week as is,
and the last thing I need right now, is to babysit immature flamers on/off
the list. Voice your opinion, but be polite about it. If anything I've
said's come across as rude, it's not my entention, but just realize my
frustration. I mean seriously people! Can you honestly blame me?
Chris.

You aren't kidding. What a mess at first glance. Corporate silliness rules
again. You would have thought that Avid would have made a few quiet
suggestions to these folks since their products all use the stupid item.
Any observations from the part of the list that is much more cozy with Avid?

Hi all,
It is no longer possible to manage ilok licenses via the web site. They
distribute a license manager. This tool isn't accessible. I want to
contact the company about that. What I need, are suggestions to formulate
an official letter. My english isn't good enough, I think.
Thanks in advance.
Stefan
