AUDIRVANA STUDIO GRAND PREMIERE INSTALL
Without deauthorising you couldn’t install elsewhere anyway it seems. Wasn’t aware Studio needs constant internet connectivity - I can’t see the need, only to initially authorise the licence, and presumably to ensure subscription hasn’t expired monthly or annually. I’ve downloaded the last good version (it’s in the FAQ somewhere), but if the company flounders for any reason activation of a new install may be impossible. I tend not to run the latest macOS version anyway, but when security updates stop we are pretty much compelled to update to a newer version if the hardware supports it, and that could be an issue. Yes, that is a concern - as I bought macOS versions if I no longer have a mac which will run the required macOS version I could get locked out, though have a few possible workarounds. Minimum requirement: must work with local streaming with no internet connectivity. If it goes belly up, I’ll give Roon a whirl but if I’m not sold, I’ll just get a second hand Auralic G1 or something similar. Which is a shame because I built a system intentionally around a dedicated fanless micro PC and Audirvana. I figure, the days of 3.5 working are limited to the first OS update that brakes it. This happened only last month when a Windows update broke Audirvana and I had to install the newest build to even get it to launch. My fear now is that old versions will stop working.
