Plugin multi activation

Does anyone know if Akai will let you put purchased plugins on more than one unit? I have a 5 different units, but I can't activate purchased plugins on more than I think 1 or 2, would be nice to be able to use all the plugins on all system without having to spend a couple more thousand on the same plug-ins.

You can used up to 3 at a time, but can keep switching between any device that's registered. At least that's my understanding. I only have 1 device.

Wow, what 5 units do you own?

two live II, X SE, X, key 37, Force, and live 1 whoa I guess 7, but I don't use the live 1 or regular X so I should probably sell them at some point.

Damn Bro! You're beats better be dope! That's enough devices to make an Akai Voltron.

one of the most redundant collections of gear ive ever seen

They’re just sequencers to me. I have a ton of modular gear, hardware synths, drum machines, drum brains etc i just use the VST to sketch ideas when traveling, so not that big of a deal, but would be nice to have all machine the same.

You got 7 Akai devices & just use them for sequencers for sketching idea when traveling?
Wow!

No I use them as sequencers, but use the plugins when traveling to sketch ideas

You still have 7 units from the same company just for sketching.

Someone needs to make a show called:
"Gear Hoarders"

Serious TV man voice: Stay tuned folks & find out why this one dude has 7 of basically the same music device from the same company just for sketching out music ideas.

Join us as we explore the fascinating dark world of gear hoarding & how it effects their lives & the people that knows them.

Also find about out from top scientists in the field about the harmful disease called G.A.S. that infected so many in the music gear community. You may know someone who is dealing with it but don't even know or admit it, but we'll give you the signs to look.

Finally, we'll meet some of survivors of G.A.S. hear how they learned to let go of unnecessary gear. Must watch!
