I just got the Strobosoft. Nice tuner....works like the hardware unit with regards to ballistics and lights etc. One note to future buyers: The unlock code authorization requires your machine to be connected to the internet. Since my DAW is not connected, nor does it even have a modem, I had to phone in for support.
They were very helpful and managed to provide me with an unlock code in a few minutes, but they were a little confused at first, as they haven't encountered this situation yet. The install generates a machine code that must be responded to with a very lenghty unlock code. The only problem I see for myself is thus: I use removeable drive bays and at least a couple of times a year I'm setting up new OS drives. Every time I want to install the tuner on a new system drive I'll have to go through the registration process. They also only provide you with a couple of unlock codes per device. I got the impression after speaking with Peterson support that after a couple of installs, they expect you to repurchase the software. I hope that won't be the case. I understand the need for security from software designers, but I really hate cumbersome and limited software authorization.
