Now my email account is being buried with their “IK Multimedia – Delete Account Verified” messages – around 1700 copies so far.

As if I had any doubts.

Seriously, we need to boycott those ransomware distributors and internet traffic spammers with their 1gb installers for one tiny 20 mb plugin. There is no other way these companies will learn it. Even Ilok is more user friendly than what IKM is doing here – and that says something!

Just stick to companies who follow fair and user friendly business practice! Typically it’s the smaller developers who don’t use “license managers” and 1gb installers, but just let you download and authorize your plugins quickly!

Everyone is forcing this c*** on us. I have so many plugin managers for the few plugs I own.

Nope. You can’t leave the dll you want. You also need another file that is over 1GB on your drive where the graphics for the plugins are. BPB should mention stuff this. They often do, but not this time. Deleting. I’ll stick with Fetish 2 from Analog Obsession, which is 6,4 MB.

That’s not the point! The point is: why download close to 2 gb of software just to use one single plugin? In terms of energy efficiency (electronic transmissions via the web cost a lot of energy, which in terms has immediate consequences for carbon emissions and climate), this is completely unacceptable. It’s 2020 and we are trying to prevent a climate catastrophy, yet IKM with their stupid installation procedure is stuck in time.

Seeing that over all these years IKM still hasn’t fixed their authorization and installation method to adhere to best practice standards, I will happily decline their offer and stay away from buying anything from them.

It installs all of the T-racks plugs. Just do the install, delete the plugs you don’t want, problem solved, no more worries.

If it’s not your thing, Putin, why not just move along instead of whining about it?

Ok, you have to log in first.
