I’m sorry but it’s doing my head in. It seems every other day I need to reactivate the plugins I bought. Is this a beta thing or working as intended because it’s starting to piss me off.

Had it only once, but even that was annoying, we paid for it, didn't we?

I updated my Force to version 3.5 and had the same issue. In addition, the intro screen would appear every time I switched the unit off and back on. What worked for me was formatting the internal SSD, resetting the preferences, and then reinstalling all the synth content onto the SSD. hope it helps!

Activations are a pain in the arse. Period.

Sometimes the system gets broken somehow, and then it asks for activation every time you just dare to turn it on.

When it works fine, it asks for activation from time to time. That is: always in the worst possible moment and never activating at the first attempt.

A ****' pain. As if our time as customers or users wasn't valuable.

Yeah it’s mind boggling why there isn’t just a simple flag that says user paid for this shit.
