Needing activation every month

The MPC has demanded I activate it 3 times since February/March.

I have no idea what's wrong with it, but this is concerning as it means I could all of a sudden not be able to load plugins while recording or about to perform.

Are you on the latest firmware?
There has been reactivation issues on previous firmwares, but (I think?) Akai has adressed them..

I also had to reactivate a few times over the last few months. Unfortunately, there's nothing to fix here since this is intended behavior according to an Akai rep. Keep in mind that you'll also have to reactivate when updating the firmware.

Not having access to plugins due to deactivation while in a music venue is a very real scenario. It's happened to me, and I'm not the only one.
