Hi,
I just downloaded the Complete GRM Tools demo (for Windows) from dontcrack.com.
After installing the demo and booting my DAW (Live), it tells me upon scanning the VST plugin folder I need to insert an iLok holding authorizations for the software. Obviously this is just the demo and according to the description on dontcrack.com there should be no authorization for that.
The standalone versions work however, maybe the RTAS too - haven't tested, but the VST needs authorization.
How to proceed?
Thanks
Hi,
I have an issue with the GRM Tools demo install here
I installed the demo, complete version, and whenever I run a VST host, it says it requires Authorisation and so it wont let me use the plugins.
So, I went to try the standalone versions, and they are not in the start menu/program location, so it looks like they were not even installed, all I have in each of the program locations is an Uninstall program and a pdf?
I installed "GRM_Tools_Complete_Demo_PC.zip"
- Windows XP Professional SP3 (32 bit)
- Tried Sound Forge 9.0e (build 441) and Cubase 4.5.2 as my VST hosts, neither work, both do same, as described above.
- I do have an iLok installed on this system, with Waves/Izotope plugins on there, dunno if that makes a difference, but I have tried removing this during installation, and afterwards and it seems to make no difference at all.
- The existing plugins I have on my iLok all work fine before/after install of the GRM Tools demo
Hopefully this is enough information for you?
I really need to test these plugins out, before I can consider buying them....
Cheers

Thanks for the details.
Yes we have found predictable issues and we asked the folks at ina GRM to monitor this board as for bug reports. This is why I was asking for precise tech details.
I will here post as soon as we have updates that corrects evident bugs.
Thanks for your time reporting.
Best Regards - Peter
1) I downloaded the DEMO (link was on the dontcrack website):
http://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?manufa cturers_id=70&products_id=800
2) Unzipped GRM_Tools_Complete_Demo_PC.zip, started GRM Tools Complete Demo Installer.exe.
3) Although I specified my D: drive to install the VST DLL's / Documentation - it is ignored. All DLL's end up in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\GRMVstPlugins. ???
4) So I copy all DLL's accross from C: drive onto my D: drive VST folder. I start my Host and scan the plugin folder.
5) For each plugin, the Message "Please insert an authorized iLok and press the ''OK'' button to continue using GRM Tools Classic. bla bla bla..".. Although I have an iLok2, it doesn't work since it's not loaded. Anyway it states on the dontcrack website "NO AUTHORIZATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO RUN THE GRM DEMO VERSIONS !"
Win7 Pro 64-bit (NOT SP1)
Tested in Hosts: Cubase 6 (32-bit), Presonus Studio one (32-bit), Renoise (32-bit).
Hi guys,
It does appear that some of you encountered problems installing and running the GRM demo versions on Windows 7. Unfortunately, the main developer at ina GRM is away for a short break and will be back early next week.
We have added this information to the priority list for him to work on that at his return.
For those of you that were not able to demo the products before the end of the promotion, we will extend it at users request for a 10 days period after all problems have been solved and the demo versions fully operational.
Again we need as much details as possible to reproduce the issues you encounter. Any further technical information is therefore much appreciated.
Thanks for your time and your understanding.
Kind Regards - Peter
BTW guys,
Some users that encountered problems with the "GRM Tools Complete Collection" demo versions on Windows 7 stated they were able to demo all products by installing the demo version of each bundles separately....
These can be downloaded from the respective bundle pages here :
http://store.dontcrack.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=70
Perhaps a work around ?
Cheers - Peter
Hi,
I tried to install the demo VST on Windows XP sp3. Hosts are Reaper and Usine, I tried with the three separated bundles. It still ask for an Ilok with authorisations.

hi,
some people had the same pace problem with ProTools 9 could you as follow
"Error 1920.ServicePACE License Services (PaceLicenseDServices) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Occurs during PACE Driver Setup preventing installation of TPKD driver and iLok support or when launching Pro Tools.
In one case, uninstalling the anti-virus software BitDefender allowed the Pro Tools and iLok License Support software to install and function properly.
or
f DEP (Data Execution Prevention) setting is modified you can encounter errors such as Pro Tools not responding when trying to launch, or Microsoft Register Server Stopped Working or PACERegister returned an Error when Installing or Uninstalling Pro Tools.
Why can't I uninstall or install Pro Tools without getting errors regarding Pace or Microsoft Register Server?
Turn DEP back on, restart and then you can properly complete the Pro Tools install or uninstallation without registry errors.
Re-Enabling DEP
Open the Start menu and right-click on Computer.
Choose Properties.
On the left side of the screen, click on Advanced System Settings.
Under Performance, click on Settings.
Click on the tab for 'Data Execution Prevention'.
Choose the option 'Turn on DEP for Essential Windows programs and services'
Restart your computer.
If you're still having trouble installing Pro Tools due to Register or Pace errors and you've re-enabled DEP to its top default setting:
Remove all PACE and Pro Tools entries from your Control Panel's Programs & Features, run the Pro Tools uninstaller from your DVD or download and then restart before reinstalling Pro Tools.
Hello,
Is there any news about this bug ? The special offer ends in 10 days and there's still no way to proprelly try the plugs....

Greetings,
Unfortunately same here,

Also, i can't see any standalone version anywhere.
Hi all,
So we have reported the bugs some of you encounter installing the GRM Tools demo on Windows and the main developer is now back and working on it.
The folks at ina GRM are actually compiling & testing the new demo versions. Should be there anytime now...
The white noise will be replaced by a gentile fade out/in that makes it much easier to evaluate GRM Tools creative capabilities.
Other WINDOWS features requested by users will be added such as :
- VST bug fixes for WINDOWS
- Choice of the folder where to install the VST from the installer.
- Documentation & Stand-Alone from the Start menu
- Short-cut on the desktop to the Stand-Alone.
I'll keep you posted ASAP !
Kind Regards - Peter
It works perfectly now.
Thanks
Yes the new versions work great !
Please let us know if you encounter other issues...
Thanks - Peter
