Same with iLok. And actually, I use a USB drive for my Waves authorizations also. I have a 4 port USB hub that has my iLok, eLicenser, Waves USB drive, and codemeter on it. It takes one slot and can easily move from computer to computer.This is why I love VSL so much. Yes, you need a dongle, but you can download your libraries as many times as you want and you don't need their permission to move the libraries to another ssd.
The Waves drive died at one point. I emailed customer service and explained the problem. Since I'd had Waves for 10 years at that point and never asked for a reset, even though I didn't have a current WUP, they did it. They said normally, if you have a current WUP and you lose authorization, they will fix it.
I haven't had a problem with any of the other licensers, but I usually change them out every few years.
