Doing a migration from one computer to another I’ve lost my ability to licence a software a really enjoyed. Bias Peak and Bias Sound Soap. Their licensing server has been shut down and I cannot authorize it. I understand there are downsides to dongle licensing, but in this case I think it would have saved my tool.
I say boo to bias being gone, but boo to a bad licensing system.
you’re biased.
I’m a maven
Thank god for CRAKS! ;)
in every other situation, I would be opposed to cracks but in the rare case I do support it.
this may help

nope, I generate a “call” txt file and they generate a “response” txt
the gist I get is that under most circumstances one machine needs to be de-authorized to transfer it to a new machine to do that here is the skinny
http://www.bias-inc.com/support/faq/cView.php?faq_id=209
then authorize on new machine using same info from old
if it were me I would have a carbon copy of the old in case of Ahem fuck ups etc.
i did that before I formatted my old computer
I had to do the same with all my adobe stuff
which version of peak are you using?
5
pro
on one page they say
Q: Can I install, authorize, and use BIAS software on more than one computer?
A: Yes — however, only two computers may be authorized at one time.
While you may have up to two computers authorized at one time — for example, a studio computer and a laptop — all BIAS software may only be used by a single user, on one computer at a time.
also another says
you do need to de-authorize the old machine I would call Phone: +1-707-782-1866 and see if anyone answers it’s the help line 9-5 pacific time. If you want a cracked version at the end of the day let me know. I have peak 5.2 I can upload it and give you a link
their phone has been disconnected
I’m gonna do a bit of reading and exploring on this I’ll let you know if I can copy out the license and app from one machine to another w/o reauthorizing
seems like your SOL I tried to copy over files from support folder then reinstall update etc then run.
files copied were generated on hardware from old machine and are specific to that model. so cracked it is or do W/O..
