Thanks steff for the info. Appreciated!

I must admit that I was very pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to use the iLok with Waves, so this has given me second thoughts about Neon.

But I am still a bit wary of needing an iLok just for a demo, in case it does mess up the system. Nonetheless, I guess it would be better to mess it up with a free demo than find out it was messed up only after paying for the full product! ;-)

It shouldn't mess your system in any way.

I for my part like the iLok system. It so much easier to manage all the authorisations, especially when working on different computers, OS platforms and locations. I actualy wished all my plugs were on iLok.
Never had any issues...

You might want to try new version of Neon (1.1) - it benefits from variable plug-in buffer size introduced in PT 7.0 - the CPU load is drastically reduced, but you need to set high hardware buffer size in PT settings. However, it requires PT 7.0...
