Hi chris, Most plugs if not all can be authorized without connection to the Internet that includes Jaws. I would probably have my daw connected to the net with the net card disabled, when you don't need a connection for stuff like windows updates and so on. Normally I do it by simply disabling the networking adapter and physically disconnecting the puter from the net. Then I only connect, when needed.

Hi folks. I'm a couple months away from getting the new Windows 7 DAW. This old XP box is doing fine, and I'm probably going to keep it for storage, Office applications, email etc. But is it practical to keep the new DAW offline entirely, disable internet-related services etc.? I realize that results in a more stable system and less vulnerability, but do any of our audio applications need to be authorized online on the same machine on which they run? For example, Waves plug-ins and others rely on iLock authorization. But I'm pretty sure in that instance, there's no reason why you can't download authorizations onto your key and then move it to the offline machine - that's one of the cool things about the iLock. Heck, what about Jaws 12 and Freedom Scientific's annoying authorization scheme? For those of you with a DAW completely removed from the Internet, have you run into any unforseen pitfalls? thanks Chris _______________________________________________ Find JSonar and Sonar FAQs, articles, guides and downloads at jsonar.org.
