Is Native a portable VST

[Rewolf48]

By that I mean can you install it on a memory stick or portable drive as I can with Reaper and many of the VST plug-ins?

I means that I can plug into any (same OS) computer and work on a project at different locations - or more importantly for me that I can copy my "virtual studio" from my home machine to my work laptop when I need to go on trips - it would allow me to carry on working without installing a load of private stuff on a work laptop.

Thanks

The actual dll files for the VST can be installed in whatever folder you want, so, yeah you could do that, I suppose. Howerever, you can only have it authorized/activated on 4 computers. You have to sign into your Line 6 account to activate the computer the first time you try to run it on that machine.

Thanks Phil,

Do you know how easy is it to activate/de-activate a device? 

I have no intention of breaking licencing limitations but I can see me needing it active on 3 machines at once (Desktop, Laptop, Work Laptop) and I am wondering how if Native only needs to connect to activate how it is de-activated to free up this licence. Does that need to be a action on the machine (normally) with a support call if that device is no longer available (broken)?

I am sure that this will all be explained in the FAQ when it is launched :)

At least it doesn't require an iLock

I would expect it to be very similar to POD Farm. I have always felt that POD Farm's license management is pretty well done and it has never given me any issues. I've had it for many years now and used it across many computers.
