This has strayed way off topic, let's get back to Virtual DJ 8, shipping with the Pioneer DDJ-SZ. This announcement was only a surprise to the naysayers. This is not rocket science. No company in their right minds, would ignore the most popular DJ software in the world. I mean, how do you think they make money? It has been quite laughable these past months, listening to all the smart guys telling the owner what he should and should not do with his company. You would have thought that the sky was falling, because some other company had a few controllers with their name on it. I mean, it was about time, but I still don't know why people were slitting their wrist about it. I know I didn't make any less money because they got a few controllers. Actually, I made mo money this year, and it had nothing to do with my equipment. Every equipment company, except NI, ships with Virtual DJ ,and has for years. If they don't, it will be mapped. There's no denying that the other companies have made some strides, with their software, but again, I have a choice. Honda makes a minivan with a built in vacuum. I'm not crying to Chrysler, telling them I need a vacuum in my van. No, no, no, I need seats that fold down into the floor. I pay a guy to vacuum and wash my car. So Steph, well done, and keep doing what you do best, because you seem to be doing just fine.
Finally, street cred is restored to VDJ
One of the biggest and baddest controllers ships with the full software not a cut-down version of Intro.... I am looking at you guys down unda.

Anybody from sales can answer this?
SZ/Free License + $$ = Full Version

The biggest resellers here of the Pioneer DDJ SZ are shouting out about the DVS functionality which is already embedded in VDJ 8 in stead of buying an extra plugin for this feature.
I say: Thumbs Up for VDJ !

ok, so you get the SZ full (works sometimes) licence, sell the controller and then want it to work all the time with another controller, what does it cost?

Nothing :)

So if it only works (sometimes) without the SZ connected, and you don't have the controller any more (bearing in mind licences are non-transferrable) do you just have to bin that "full" licence and buy another one?
Sorry for seeming pedantic but "(it will not work if you don't have a DDJ-SZ connected sometimes)" just sounds unprofessional.
It's either a full licence or it's not .........

It is a full license and if at a later date you decide to sell your SZ then it will continue to function as a full license, even if you no longer own the SZ.

We can't provide all the technical details.
As a company we need to protect our interests. Therefore there are some countermeasures to prevent the owner of a DDJ-SZ download the full license and sell it afterwards, or use his controller once to unlock the license for the person he sells / gives away this license.
What you should keep is that if you use the provided version with your SZ for some time and then decide to sell it, then the provided license will keep working without SZ, but with any other possible controller you may own afterwards.
So, yes it's a FULL version, that has a special kind of security to ensure it's fair use.

If you do run into issues, you can always use 7.4 until you figure things out. They can be on the same computer, at the same time, and we are here to help.

Hey VDJ Team,
I love my DDJ-SZ and VDJ. Please mail me a sticker to replace the Serato logo :)
One quick note could you ask the Pionneer team to add a routing feature to the output ports via the DDJ-SZ utility software? Currently outputs 9/10 play out the main output, it would be really handy if I could use output 9/10 for my prelisten into my headphones. Currently I am using channel 4 to cue my prelisten which is wasting a whole channel and I have no need for anything to play directly out the mains.
If you can convince Pioneer to make this little modification in the next firmware upgrade that would be fantastic.
Thank you.

Did you register? Did you log in? Does it say that you are logged in under options/licenses?
