Crashing from anteres AutoTune

Since I installed Anteres "AutoTune" my SF and Vegas Audio will crash after any attempt at using autotune. SF claims "fault @ bla bla bla...and then closes without saving anything. The saving grace is that crash recovery function, where I can locate the processed file, recover and rename it. Even Vegas Audio will crash if I try to use autotune. Has anyone had a similar problem? I posted this on the SF forum and got no responses.

It sounds like the notorious "PACE" protection software
is rearing its ugly head again. Check for the latest PACE/Antares updates to it for a solution. It is not only Sonic Foundry, this is also happening in Cakewalks, SONAR also. That is why many legitimate users have resorted to using "cracks" to avoid the hassles. One reason I don't Antares products, or any software that uses PACE. I don't like anti-piracy software messing with my already stable PC system.

I thought I had seen something about that "Pace" thing in another forum, but did not realize until now (I just looked up that protection thing with anteres)that it might be my problem. I have the most recent, as of last week, version of autotune 3. I might have to wait awhile. What is this about "CRACKS"? Is it a "tune up" program?

CRACKS are pirated copies of software that are stripped of copy protection by hackers.

Sound like these software companies need to make their products more accessable to the actual users and stop worrying about the pirates who will always exist anyway, which brings me to my next point...

The reason I use a lot of the software that I do is due to the fact that I had a 'CRACKED' copy of it, and I liked it so much that I bought the next version of it. So, did that hurt the software companies? No, it helped them gain a customer. I know this isn't always the case, but I think it is more that the companies believe.
