ok we need to streamline this
has any effort ever been undertaken to collect every digidesign floppy and cd ever released up until os9?
because im trying hard to compile them but im just starting and the history is getting fragmented to be even able to do so

so... confirmed by one of our members (I don't want to give out his name without permission), there is a much newer hardware device that can dupe the ancient license disks...
This slippery, slimy, but beloved...greaseweazl

From his PM...
--- Quote ---... I'm writing because I have just started experimenting with a hardware device called the greaseweazle. If you aren't familiar with it, it creates flux level copies of floppy disks - meaning that it can read and write pretty much any floppy disk, whether there is copy protection on it or not. (It's probably a little - a lot - more complicated than that but I'm just starting to learn about it / use it).
In my mind, what makes it relevant to MacOs9lives has to do with the old authorization floppy disks that used to ship with software. I've done a couple of tests and was able to read Emagic's "zap" floppy as well as Digidesign's "MasterList 2.1" authorization floppy. After reading the original, I was able to write the image file to a generic floppy and authorize a computer using it. I then "re-wrote" the flux image onto the same floppy and was able to authorize another computer.
... right now I have a couple more fresh authorization floppies and I'll probably archive them over the next little bit.

If this info. draws much attention, I will break discovery this into a separate topic

i dont know for sure, but to my knowledge all products which required a key disk in floppy format either have later versions with fullcrack available or became free, like for example bruno/reso audiosuite which later was bundled with protools, or cubase 3.5 which was followed by 4.1 which is basically the same program with no old functions missing.
this answer might be a bit colored by my personal OS9 philosophy, where it is usually enough to have the latest version of everything working.
maybe i sell my last VST 3.5 and AS plug-ins one day.^^
