My wireless card makes my firewire card shit the bed so I have to disable it when I'm playing in cubase. I finally get it installed, I do their little secret code dance to get my authorization code and I'm away. A little more googling and find out if I download the install package from it will all work. A little googling and I find out you need to change one of the preferences in cubase and start cubase in administrator mode. So anyway, I start to play in easy drummer and when I use the drag drop function it creates two insrument tracks for every groove I drag in, not adding it to the MIDI track I'm working on. I do the updates and find out the update has a 64 bit option. I set up my account at Toontrack and confirm my e-mail etc, then I do the secret code routine and get my authorization code. So I do the install, find out it's not compatible with 64 bit, I have another plug in I wanted to use that has issues with 64 bit so I just said screw it and uninstalled 64bit and reinstalled 32bit. I have two computers I want this on, first the laptop. Even though I'm a firm believer in paying for the software I use and I understand the idea of these develpopers trying to protect their property I really wish they could fiqure out another way. I don't like the idea of having to rely upon stability in company policies to request a new authorization code every time I connect an external hard drive or network adapter to my workstation.SO I'm the proud owner on a fresh new copy of EZ Drummer. There is a nice special on EZDrummer going on right now and I would have purchased it if not for my experience with this issue and EZmix if they have done away with this policy, they should let registered users know! I still use some software from 20 years ago for some ancient hardware samplers of mine. This policy is also still described in their FAQ: If you have the wireless hardware 'active' when you generate the Computer ID and authorize, you need to keep the wireless hardware 'active' or you will trigger a new Computer ID the first time you launch the software with the wireless hardware 'inactive'.' 'You need to authorize the software with the computer in the hardware state you will be using it.

That's interesting.here is the response I got from Toontrack support about a month ago regarding my attempts to authorize EXmix: Unless a newer update that I never installed brought back the problem. So, I don't know what problem other people are having. Then I shut down Reaper and turned the network off and started Reaper, loaded EZ and it works.

Well, I just now loaded EZ up with the network turned on and it played. I authorized with the network enabled and if I turned it off EZ would not work.
