I bought and downloaded a few AIR plug-ins a while back and recently MPC Stems Standalone. I like all of them, but I find that almost every time i turn my MPC on, I can't use them because they "need activation" even though I've activated them before. When I plug in my ethernet and sign into my InMusic profile, I use the same email I had when I bought all the plug-ins I mentioned. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's extremely annoying that in order to access all these. I have to go to my router, plug up my MPC and re-activate them almost every day. Is there a bug or some solution for this, and is anyone else having this problem?

Plenty of people - myself included - have this problem constantly and have discussed it here at length, a search will bring you to the various threads (I started one of them). To sum up: it’s a flaw in the design, AKAI have admitted as much to me and others via customer support; some people think it’s intentional but I suspect that’s just paranoia.
Either way, several updates since the plugin activation system was introduced have not fixed the problem - if anything, for me at any rate, it’s got much worse. So I guess we’re stuck with it for now…
