Ccboot Image Link Better (PREMIUM)

Place your image files on a fast SSD to ensure fast client booting.

In the context of CCBoot, an "Image Link" refers to the logical connection between a stored on the server and a client PC on the network. Think of it as a pointer.

: Click OK to save the link. The client is now "linked" to that specific image and will load it the next time it boots via LAN. Types of CCBoot Image Links ccboot image link

The OS and software reside on a centralized server as a virtual disk file (usually in .vhd or .vmdk format). This file is called the .

A useful visual indicator: images that (perhaps because the file was moved or deleted) will appear in red color in the image list. This provides an immediate warning that an image link is broken and needs attention. Similarly, when an image disk is full or nearing capacity, it will also appear in red in the disk list.

    Thanks for a great review Ilpo. It was interesting for me to see what you found useful in the Horizon bundle.

    I bought some Waves plugins and liked them. But got upset by the WUP when I found out about it. I totally buy your argument about that the workers at Waves need to get payed. I think Waves undercommunicate what the WUP is.
    I do love that Waves are supporting their old plugins and keep develop them! As a comparison I bought a plug-in from another company and a few months later that company disappeared from internet and newer came back!
    So Waves are definitely a reliable partner if you like to build a long term professional buissenes.

      Appreciate the thoughtful comment Erik. I agree they could do a better job at communicating what WUP is. I edited the article to include that thought. Thanks!

    I appreciate your points as well Ilpo about maintaining stability in the company and paying employees fairly. I would prefer a different approach however. I have no issue paying an upgrade fee for new or improved features, or for Waves having to adapt their plugins to work in a new OS.
    I don’t like paying an annual fee for no apparent changes or improvements however. I bought a bunch of Waves plugins on sale in 2020 and, when the 1 year purchase date occurred all these plugins stopped working in my DAW. I felt like I was being held hostage to have to renew licenses for no real benefit. Had I known this I probably wouldn’t have bought them.
    I know there are lots of products that provide user access on a monthly or annual leasing arrangement. I have paid for upgrades for DAW improvements, added features in other products etc. on numerous occasions but I don’t want to pay an annual licensing fee for a product that I have already bought unless there is substantive improvement.

      Thanks for sharing your experience David. I completely agree that is not how it should be.

      You are aware that the WUP is not an annual licensing fee though, right? Something has obviously gone wrong for you there, because that is not how it’s supposed to work.

      In which case you should contact Waves support.

      You’re not forced to upgrade ever, unless your system specs have changed so that the version you own doesn’t work with your system anymore.

      I was working quite happily with Waves V9 plugins for many years, until I decided to upgrade to V13.

      So please do get in touch with Waves support, if your system specs haven’t changed there must be something wrong there, and I’m sure they’ll help you out with that.
