I purchased the Ozone 3. I use SF8 for editing. SF8 becomes unstable after I edit about 10-20 large files (10-12GB) and I have to uninstall it and reinstall it. I can do that with the same activation code because it’s an OEM version (is that why it becomes unstable?)
My concern is that if I authorize the Ozone 3 (activate with the authorization code on the package) and use it as a plug -in in the SF8, when I uninstall the SF8 and reinstall it, I will need to activate/authorize the Ozone 3 again and it will not let me do that, since it will recognize the attempt to plug it in again like trying to install it for a second user, or will it? What do you think? Is the relationship between the host program and the Ozone 3 plug-in a catholic marriage or will the Ozone 3 work with any host program in the same computer once authorized, even with a reinstalled SF8? Can several programs in the same computer use the Ozone 3 as a plug-in?
I tried to plug in the Ozone 3 into another program that I don’t uninstall and reinstall regularly, like Nero, but wasn’t able to.
The Ozone 3 can work for 10 days as a demo without authorizing/activating, and the sound quality gradually deteriorates during these 10 days unless I authorize it. Could I possibly uninstall both the SF8 and the Ozone 3 and reinstall them only on a day I use them without ever authorizing the Ozone 3, and do it again and again?
And finally, the only thing I need from the Ozone 3 is to convert hi-rez 96/24 files to redbook using the best algorithm. Could someone please give me a QuickGuide how to do it?
Thanks, Noam
