Cool! That'll help for the free VSTs, and paid ones that are poorly licensed/managed, but certain paid VSTs use license managers so you can't redistribute them.
So like, iLok is a license manager. I might buy a fancy amp simulator vst, I'll have the rights for it to be on 3 machines. Great. 1 is on my windows machine. It's verified through ilok, which has Windows and Linux versions.
Now specifically for ilok, they have a web verification system, so there may be a workaround. But not for all ilok VSTs, it depends on the license, so... Well see!
But I have literally >$1000 worth of other VSTs that are similarly managed through the other 3 I mentioned. Like I said, I've read that there's mixed results with them through WINE, so I'm hoping for the best. Still setting up.
