Been trying for hours to get the Mini D and Juro plugins (purchased earlier today) to activate standalone on the MPC X SE.
Ironically, the firmware updated just fine.
Software and those plugins downloaded/installed/activated immediately.
Ordered a USB>Ethernet adapter to see if that'll work.
Don't hold much hope for that.
Tried hot-spot on my iPhone, 5G/2G WiFi (both main and extenders) and it won't authorize with any connection.
Seems the solution is to message Akai support... and wait for a day/two while it's sorted.
I had planned to use the MPC X SE in a live scenario.
How in the world could a professional depend on this?
If those plugins ever needed reauthorized, I'd be totally SOL.
Out of scores of hardware/software/plugin vendors over the past 40 years, Akai has the absolute worst authorization system I've encountered.
