Here we go, worst case scenario.
I got a job which basically makes me move through different countries all the time, at least until I can settle in a few months.
I go back and forth between home and my current places all the time. So every 4 or 5 days, I pack and unpack my bag, including my MBP, cans, etc. I try checking each time everything, most important things being my passport/license/ID and professional things. It's been ok those last 6 months...
And this time, I think I lost my ilok2 in the process. Yes, not my USB key, not my SD card, not a book, not my toothpaste, no, my f**king ilok2.
I say I "think" cause it might be in my pilotcase in my car in Frankfurt, where I am based at the moment, but I can't be sure until I'm back there the 2nd, and can check by myself. I don't know why I would put it there, but you never know, I have done crazier stuff in the past, when you don't live at home you cannot stick to a routine and you find yourself putting things in stupid places sometimes. What makes me fear I lost it is that during my last few days there, in my hotel, I haven't seen it anywhere and I didn't think about it, I had more important things to think about, so I have no real clue of when I saw it last time.
Until then, I have to prepare myself to the idea I lost it. It's not catastrophic, I'm not a studio which owns 15k worth of plugs, but still, if I'm right, it would mean I can say bye-bye to my Waves licenses right ? I just discovered they don't accept re-creating a license when you declare an ilok lost or stolen. I have 10 licenses on it, mainly Waves and Slate (stuff like CLA comps, SSL, Rvox, Kramer MPX, and VCC and Trigger). My worst fear would be to lose CLA/SSL.
If that's right, does that mean Waves fucks you up even when you simply declare your ilok lost or stolen through Pace's procedure ? If yes, isn't it completely, utterly, genuinely anti-professional from them, considering the Pace procedure is about declaring the ilok lost, so it cannot work anymore (hence making it unviable for any theft), and contacting the plugin companies to authorize again once a new ilok is registered ?
