FAQs
 |
Does Quantum FX use copy protection? |
Yes. When you install the full retail version of Quantum FX, you can use it for up to 7 days without authorization. To continue using Quantum FX beyond that time, you need to authorize the software on that computer. Authorization is fast and easy, via our website, 24/7. Follow the instructions from the QFX workbench and the Authorization Code for your designated computer will be emailed to your registered address immediately. The authorization process requires web and email access, but you don't have to do this on your designated music/audio computer.
|
What if I need to re-install Quantum FX after a hard drive failure, an OS re-install, or I get a new computer? |
No problem. You just follow the same fast and easy process as when you first authorized your software. You will be asked why you are re-installing Quantum FX, but you should always be able to get the Authorization Code you need.
db audioware does however reserve the right to suspend re-installs for QFX user accounts that demonstrate excessive or inappropriate activity.
|
Can I install Quantum FX on an additional computer, such as a laptop? |
Strictly speaking, you are licensed to install and use one copy of Quantum FX on one computer. So long as you ensure that only one copy of the software is in use at any one time, we have no great problem if you install a second copy for laptop use. Just be honest when asked your reason for re-installing!
|
How does copy protection work for Quantum FX site licenses? |
Exactly the same as for single user licenses, except that you can install up to your maximum number of users before the system starts to treat authorization requests as re-installs.
|
How can I authorize Quantum FX if the website is down, or worse still db audioware has gone out of business? |
In the unlikely event that our website is unavailable for an extended period, please email your authorization request to us, quoting your serial number and system ID. We'll email your Authorization Code to your registered address as soon as possible. Remember that you can install and use Quantum FX for up to 7 days without authorization: we recommend you authorize the software early to ensure uninterrupted operation.
In the even less likely event that db audioware goes out of business, we have a contingency plan that will guarantee lifetime authorization of Quantum FX for all registered owners. Of course, we don't anticipate having to put this plan into action anytime soon!
|
I use DirectX plug-ins. Can I still use Quantum FX v2? |
If you use a DirectX host you will be happy to know that this new release operates reliably with the major VST-DirectX wrappers on the market, including the Cakewalk wrapper provided as standard with SONAR and Project5.
|
Does Quantum FX run on Intel-based Macs? |
Yes. Quantum FX v2.5 is a Univeral Binary application and runs natively on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs.
Quantum FX v2.03 is a PowerPC application and runs in emulation mode only on Intel-based Macs.
|
What version of Quantum FX runs on my Mac PowerPC? |
Quantum FX 2.5 (the latest version) is supplied as a Universal Binary to support both PowerPC and Intel processors, so it requires OS X 10.4.
If you have a PowerPC-based Mac running OS X 10.4, you can consider using Quantum FX 2.5.
If you have a PowerPC-based Mac and are still running OS X 10.3, we recommend that you continue to use Quantum FX 2.03.
