Mariana works on my M1 Mac (with the giant HTML source error messages), but not my Moogerfooger plugins, and on my Windows machine, both Mariana and the Moogerfooger plugins don't run at all because they can't be authorized (despite being authorized 17 months ago). Here's a BlueSky thread showing behavior of MF plugins on my M1 Mac.Same huge message box here, other than that the plugin seems to work fine. It's probably some server-side issue on Moog's end.
To be clear, I doubt any employee at Moog is running the auth servers (Moog used iLok prior to the InMusic acquisition). This is a classic InMusic "f**k the customers!" move. It's like they've never heard of an SLA. I can say that if systems I managed at my day job had this amount of downtime, I'd probably be let go.
I had very similar issues with the 2gether Audio G8TOR plugin, except in that case, I never received authorization code after purchase, was able to resolve that initially but a week later it deauthorized itself and when I would attempt to re-authorize, it would say "Authorization in progress, please wait" but never complete authorization. I let InMusic know about this but never got a reply back, so resorted to downloading a cracked torrent. I don't run cracked software as a matter of principle, but it was the only way to use software I purchased from a corporate giant that takes its customers for granted. I guess I'll have to do the same to be able to run my purchaed Moog plugins.
At this point I can't see myself buying any plugins made by InMusic or it's subsidiaries, and will hold onto existing iLok-protected sw installers moving forward. Say what you will about iLok, once you've got the codes registered to your account, they stay in your account.
