i want to know why you don't support the ilok system, i have spent so much money software , controller, upgrade/ update and now on a dongle..

I have been waiting over a year to use it and now i still cant use it
your website is not clear at all and there should be a list of dongles supported
in the korg net shop.

i was looking for how to install the license to my dongle and found out that i can't use it...
ilok is syncrosoft approved why don't you use it.....


maybe i'll just get a crack instead i might be able to use my software then gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

"ilok is syncrosoft approved"

They are nothing to do with each other - different technologies from completely different companies.

That's like saying "Ford is Toyota approved", it's meaningless.

Note: Syncrosoft has a better track record at keeping software secure than iLok.

"there should be a list of dongles supported"

Here is the full list of supported dongles:

- Syncrosoft

Also, note a Syncrosoft dongle is not an expensive device, and is required for a decent amount of software.

I think the OP is annoyed because he bought the original KLC collection, then needed to buy the upgrade to the dongle-ized version, *and* buy a dongle too.

I'm sure the current boxed versions of the Analog Edition also come with slinkydongles too - it's the people with former non-dongled versions that are required to get a new dongle (if they don't have one already)...

I bought a Ilok because i don't want to my dongle to get lost or stolen with all my software licenses on it as korg wont send you the license again.
i used to have my logic one insured but can't afford to do that anymore

I know you can buy a dongle for €17.00 or even cheaper, i didn't buy one of these because i didn't think it would suffice.

The Information for supported dongles is not clearly listed on the korg website/ web shop as it should be like when you buy a car it says on the fuel tank that it's diesel or petrol,
korg's website is badly laid out and unclear as to what needs to happen and not providing a proper service for the customers that are supporting the company instead of the many wasters using cracked versions.

i mad because i have spent more money on this completely useless product trying to upgrade it than it would cost to buy it again. i.e. €107.00 from a uk web site and thats with a dongle in the box???????
i don't want a useless keyboard controller

I'm a honest person and use legitimate software that i have paid for myself and i have spent a lot on it i.e. Logic pro 7, logic studio, ableton live 7 and since version 5. arturia products (that use elicenser but dont need a dongle) and many other.

I have been a year waiting trying to get this to work, 8 months of that were spent pissing around waiting for tech support to tell me that i couldn't use it on a universal binary mac. and then when they do make an update
i have to pay for it and buy a dongle..... more money wasted



all i want to do is use the software before it's considered a classic in it's own right

Audiofeen,

Unfortunately due to software piracy, many companies (including Korg) have felt the need to move to USB key-based protection (either the PACE iLok system or the Syncrosoft USB eLicenser system).

Korg did create some confusion by first releasing the Original KLC-1 using a challenge/response system then changing it to Syncrosoft dongle, but that couldn't be helped given the original KLC-1 was being stolen left and right (via warez sites).

I am a little confused about your comment of having to spend 107 pounds to upgrade. The FAQ below describes what you need to do to make your original KLC-1 Mac Intel compatible:
http://www.korguser.net/shop/software/support/faq.asp

Basically, it should have only cost you $15 to upgrade to KLC v1.2 (the Syncrosoft dongle version) plus the cost of a Syncrosoft dongle (if you didn't own one already). The upgrade to KLC-AE2007 (which added the Mono/Poly) should have cost around $99.

I would urge you to contact your Country Korg Product support on the phone to get help in getting everything set up correctly.


Just FYI, there is no crack for KLC-AE2007 nor the most current version of KLC-DE.

Once again (without patronising) - iLoks and Syncrosoft dongles are *completely different* technologies.

You cannot use an iLok with a Syncrosoft protected product, or vice versa. If you knew the sophistication of the encrypted code wrapping and that the technologies are *very* different indeed you would see that.

A donlge-protected product is specifically engineered for one particular system, whether iLok, Syncrosoft, XSkey, Hasp, or whatever. These systems are completely different and not interchangable.

A Syncrosoft-protected program will not, *ever* work with an iLok, or vice versa. Seriously, stop even thinking about it.
