ANTI-obsolescence SERIES- MACKIE TRACKTION V 3 KEYFILE GENERATOR


*download links and torrent file address located at bottom of page when
ready for the Keygen app and final 3x version of Tracktion from the iso CD.

(above is screenshot of Tracktion offical website where you put in your machine
number to generate a keyfile - but it will not generate for anything under v4x)



Before Tracktion was orphaned by Mackie,  it was packaged into software discs included in some Mackie products.  I was pleased to
get version 3x installers for Mac and WIndows with my Mackie U.420d firewire mixer back in 2008.   Not long after I bought the mixer, the mixer
itself was discontinued ( I use it still to this day) and the software was dropped . Some huge things happened behind the scenes at Mackie
and i assume that economy crash in USA in 2008 had a negative impact on Mackie (but I'm not 100% sure).

So was this was a case of company pushed obsolescence??




So now that I have 2 great tools, I use them.  I've been using the mixer U420d with my Macbook Pro .  The software I used for a while on this same computer
but since the new version 4x is available for free , I installed that.    But I had Tracktion 3x on my Pismo G3 running osx 10.4.11 but had a bad harddrive
so after a fresh current install, when I tried to install Tracktion 3x , the process which verifies the ownership was hitting errors (has to connect to
now defunct Mackie servers with keyfile) and then trying to generate Keyfile 'offline' - same thing - no server available for those version 3 keyfiles.


So I contacted the developers of Tracktion and it appears they have no way to give me the keyfiles. 
Here is the email and response to the company :




So now I had to turn to the Torrent world.

Luckily after checking several old link pages to a 'hack' keygen program, which were basically made in 2011
they are for the most part gone as well but there is one guy on Demonoid who has the 3x keygen and a package
of the installer files for both Mac and WIndows.

So I downloaded just the keygen as I have the installer CD and found you can only generate on a windows machine.

So dumped it to USB drive and opened it in Windows 7.

There I was able to do the process which involves entering a name , email (use any email) and you have to enter
the "MACHINE NUMBER" to generate your keyfile.


The "MACHINE NUMBER" is found when you install the 'demo' version of Tracktion on the computer of choice.

You open "about" (bottom left of  tracktion window) and you will see the number available of your computer.

Then use that number in the Machine number field.


Take the file generated and put it on the USB drive -  I'm assuming you can use this same file later on so burn it
as a master file for that particular machine. Put it on a disc with the Tracktion installers and plugins… make it your master tracktion disc
but like I said make it for 1 machine so you don't get mixed up down the road.

 

A final note - Mackie replied again today to explain they no longer supportV3 because of the fact it was hacked and is not as 'secure' as the new method but from what I can tell, there are cracked versions of v.4 and 5 and the registration method is still the same on the website, except not supporting version 3. 
But they only told me this AFTER I explained I was able to get help from the torrent community and piratebay.. funny they didn't point me in that direction right away but confirm it after I mention it.     

The point is, Tracktion 3 is a fully functioning one screen multitrack studio that HUMS along great on my 15 year old Pismo G3. That's all that matters to me.
