        I haven't done it myself yet... But I'd maybe use the Engine.getSystemTime in conjunction with a midiMuter for example.

        Comparing the 2 dates on startup....

          @UrsBollhalder Can you give it a try or help me? Because I am very bad in Scripting.

            Actually We need better Protection and Prevent from being pirated. If we look @Lindon Channel Robot's Almost all plugins are out now by R2R. Same holds true for @orange NoiseAsh and Sampleson products. I guess these developers are using HISE for Plugins development. I don't know how the cracking system works and how do they crack. As a developer we are spending Days & Nights efforts yet it is being cracked. It is not just about plugins, reality is, our efforts are being cracked.

              Aw man, that's really a shame to see all those plugins cracked, I thought we got more head start over the bad guys...

                As far as I'm aware none of my HISE based libraries have been shared without (or even with) my permission, so I must be unpopular.

                  @d-healey Is there a hidden message in your statement?

                    @UrsBollhalder I wonder if those who illegally share libraries aren't so interested in sharing libraries that they're allowed to share, or I've just flown under the radar.

                      @DabDab 😂... Well... If you want to keep the hackers away, you better get good at it my friend! I am not sure my feeble attempts at this would really bring that much benefit... I just read in an earlier post, where @Lindon described his method of tackling these things. So if he still has his stuff on these platforms, I doubt that our efforts will be rewarded. There is a much bigger hammer needed probably, or maybe an anti-hammer (Open source)?!?

                      I haven't thought about this myself too much, tbh! It is a problem, but for Kontakt libraries as well!

                      There are many questions I haven't really tackled yet myself... Open source, closed source, simple copy protection, more serious copy protection, custom-made downloader, Pulse downloader (with watermarking system... though the guys you are worried about probably don't give a shit!)...

                      I am not sure it is worth the fuss to be honest... These are different kinds of people... Buyers buy, freebie peeps will download freebies and hackers will steal... and probably never buy anyways... It bothers me to hear, for sure, but I am not sure it really influences your sales that much! I think the 50'000$ customer is just a different customer from the 500$ or 50$ customer... There's room for overlap, certainly, but someone who can just pay the 50'000$ will not buy (or maybe even look at) the 50$ option... Different folks!

                        @d-healey I think there is a really interesting point in that statement! So I understood you right! Is your stuff also on Loot Audio and Plugin Boutique and the likes?

                            @DabDab After seeing even iLok was hacked last year, I don't think about that much anymore.

                                @orange @UrsBollhalder True 👍 .

                                See what Hornet says about their plugins

                                "The HoRNet has no copy protection, we don’t believe in copy protection, they are always cracked and they are annoying for the users, we all know you are not going to give away the plugin on the internet…
                                So simply download the plugin and enjoy your recordings!"

                                  @DabDab Wow. That's quite a position... Well. There's the whole spectrum I suppose... It takes some creativity to come up with ways to tackle this. Didn't @d-healey say in his live stream on Sunday that only license-buyers get access to certain kinds of bonuses?!? I found that interesting!

                                    I wouldn't call them bonuses. Licensed users get access to downloads from my server, customer support tickets, and updates.

                                      Well - after the last week of dealing with social media about releases I'm pretty sanguine about this sort of thing. .. my current position is "not likely to build another CR product ever......" - I will probably recover but right now I'm completely over the music software industry.

                                        @Lindon have you noticed a dip in your sales when the cracked releases came out? There are different experiences out there from sales being cut by 80% to even increases in sales (because of the publicity).

                                        Don't feel obligated to answer this though...
