Is anyone else having this issue? It is friggin annoying as hell. Im logged in and online and everytime I power up I have to reactivate everything.

I also have an issue with the fact that for my pluggins to work on the Force (now worth hundreds of investment money). I have to keep connecting to the internet for them to work. It has been every few months or so I would have to connect to the internet and activate them again... now its every time I turn on the damn thing.

I think Akai has gone too far with needing to activate it after the first activation. Now if I do I gig and there is not internet, like at a festival or something my shit won't work. Or if I choose to live my life not on the internet or if the internet goes down for any length of time I won't be able to use the tools. (THis is why I will never sell my hardware synths)

Im sick of the corporations trying to control everything... whats next biometrics everytime we turn on our gear to make sure the one using it is the one who paid?
