I am happy to stand corrected :-)

I misunderstood their webpage earlier. I now downloaded the plugin installer and activated it via serial while being online in my DAW computer, that is how I like it to be !

No, Imaginando just needs an account. You will need a temporary internet connection on your host computer to activate the plugin tith the account data and the serial number, but you don’t need another manager app!

It’s a crapshoot, bubba. 🤷

You never know what will happen ’til it happens. Some devs close up shop and bail on its users, going MIA and leaving people in the lurch, while others look out for their customers before closing by providing an option to continue using their software long after they’re gone.

So it all depends on the dev, innit? You simply won’t know what a dev is gonna do if they go belly-up until they do because shutting down operations isn’t usually on the agenda of legitimate developers with the will to succeed.

TL;DR, it’s entirely up to you whether you’re willing to gamble on the future of a dev’s software.

Also, in Imaginando’s defense: they’ve been on the scene for quite a while now and haven’t yet shown any signs of struggle. But at the end of the day, who knows?
