The Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) licences are available in three primary types, each designed to cater to different user requirements and scenarios. The first type is the Transferable Licence, which provides a high degree of flexibility. This licence allows the software to be transferred between different computers, making it ideal for users who need to use the software on multiple machines at different times. However, it is important to note that the licence can only be active on one computer at any given moment. Additionally, to maintain its validity, the Transferable Licence requires periodic internet connectivity, specifically at least once every 30 days, to verify the licence status.
The second type is the Single Machine Licence, which is permanently bound to a single computer. This type of licence is particularly well-suited for installations where the software will remain fixed on one device, such as in a dedicated studio or broadcast environment. Once the licence has been activated on the designated machine, it does not require any further internet access for continued use, providing a more stable and self-contained licensing solution for permanent setups.
Lastly, the DVS Pro Subscription Licence represents a more advanced and comprehensive option. This licence is available on an annual subscription basis rather than as a one-time purchase and requires regular internet access every 30 days. It unlocks enhanced performance features, including support for up to 128 audio channels both in and out (128x128), a wider range of latency settings for more precise audio timing control, compatibility with virtual machines, and improved clocking capabilities to ensure superior audio synchronisation. This subscription model is ideal for professional users who require the highest level of performance and flexibility from their Dante Virtual Soundcard software.
