EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Sascha,

I agree with all your points you mentioned - but still have one
question concerning the EXS-CD:

I never tried to copy it, but I always thought that one can't copy the
CD because the key for your authorization which is on the CD is
comparable to a hardware key. There should be some non-readable
sectors on the CD which one can't copy. Did you ever try to authorize
your EXS with your CD-copy? If it works, which CD-burner-program do
you use? I also wish to make a copy of mine.

gretings,
axel
