i feel like i spent a fair bit of money on this stuff, and i rely on it now. Personally, losing access to my entire RE library would be devastating. The licensing is incredibly slow, sometimes it's fast, but usually slow - in the same regard the more time that is needed to complete the task the more chance there is of failing over and over. I think the largest RE I own is the A-List stuff at about 1 Gig, though.ĮnochLight wrote:downloading Republik was a nightmare, it took an entire day and it was night time before one download completed without failing, I don't want to try and attempt that again, let alone try and download my entire RE library. But I'm on a fairly fast Internet connection (125 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up on my home studio machine 20 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up on my office machine). It's usually the license file that chokes on me when it does happen. For me - on my end at least - downloading RE's no matter how large they are rarely the cause of any issue. I keep my trials very short and sweet and to the point, logging in daily only causes problems as the Authorizer wants to update at a rate of about once per day and this can also have failures and leave me completely RE less until it sorts itself out.

For instance, downloading Republik was a nightmare, it took an entire day and it was night time before one download completed without failing, I don't want to try and attempt that again, let alone try and download my entire RE library. Expecting the Authorizer to download all my 100+ REs is something I am certain would cause me issues pretty much exactly the same as the OP, I would be completely without REs until I resolved the problem. What I have noticed is that a 5 mb RE is going to download a thousand times easier that a 2Gb RE which will fail over and over in the time it takes for it to download.

I am pretty familiar with Authorizer issues. So manually updating one RE at a time (that have updates) alleviates the issue? I might try that going forward. That said, my issues with server/license sync and downloading RE's seem to be pretty rare. Using "Sync All" has been literally the only way that I have updated my RE's since they came out on Day 1.
