Vienna Key for Vienna Instruments Software

The ViennaKey is necessary to run any Vienna Instrument. This USB protection device by Syncrosoft is not included in the box of any Collection, it is a separate item you have to get additionally. You will need one ViennaKey for every computer you want to run a Vienna Instrument on. So you’ll have to order at least one ViennaKey with your first purchase. Users who order the complete Symphonic Cube will get one ViennaKey for free. You can use one ViennaKey for all of your Vienna Instruments Collections if you want, as long as you run them on one machine. Of course you can also run several Collections on more than one computer, e.g., Solo Strings and Chamber Strings on Computer A and Orchestral Strings and Brass on Computer B. This will require the purchase of two ViennaKeys, one for each computer. This way you can distribute your Vienna Instruments as you wish over several computers. You can also move the licensing information from one ViennaKey to another, but you can’t have the same Collection on two ViennaKeys at the same time.

Technical Info

NOTE
If you already have a Syncrosoft USB protection device (from Steinberg for instance), you can use it for the VIENNA INSTRUMENTS, too. Please download the latest “Syncrosoft License Control Center” from the Syncrosoft website so all the relevant VIENNA INSTRUMENTS information is available on your ViennaKey. The only difference from the original ViennaKey is that you can’t run Demo Mode #1 (see below) on a Syncrosoft USB protection device not issued by the Vienna Symphonic Library.

Here’s an explanation of the Demo Modes:

Demo Mode #1
Even before registering your VIENNA INSTRUMENTS Collection you can test the product on any computer with a new ViennaKey plugged in. There are 180 “starts” available. This number doesn’t refer to starting up the computer or to starting a new session. Each of the following procedures is a “start”: Instantiating the VIENNA INSTRUMENTS, loading a Collection, or loading an instrument from the Extended Library. So the period of time you can use the VIENNA INSTRUMENTS in Demo Mode #1 depends on how often and how many instruments you audition. Therefore we recommend registering your products as soon as possible.

Demo Mode #2
This is the 30 day demo mode after registering your Collection: If you have bought only the Standard Library, you can try out the Extended Library for 30 days. You have 30 starts available in these 30 days. If you’ve used up your 30 starts before your 30 day trial period has expired, please connect to the Syncrosoft Server using your License Control Center to get another 30 starts.
