I would've like to install AS on my largest drive, but since it's nosuid mounted the license_utility wouldn't run, and I had to move it to my system SSD. It sucks to have your hard work pirated, but they seem to always be able to remove the protection, and the end result being that the pirated version has a better user experience than the legally bought one. I understand that it's probably necessary to avoid people just deleting a file to reset the 30 day trial, and that it probably helps with copy protection, but it feels like this might hurt paying customers (and prospective customers who want to try the demo) more than it stops piracy. Maybe it's possible to distribute AS using AppImage or Flatpak instead, and get rid of these extra steps? Even if I can delete the Qt tools manually later, the required dependencies are 700MB which seems a bit excessive, given that I already have Qt5 on my system. And contrary to AS install instructions, it's not possible to deselect 'Qt tools' so it always installs those. To install Qt you also need to register an account, which isn't too hard, but annoying. Google eventually led me to an archive download page, where I could get the correct installer, which btw is 1.3GB.

First of all, finding the exact version wasn't entirely easy, as qt.io seems to try really hard to get visitors to download whatever version/installer they think is best. I have Qt 5.12.8 installed on my system, but I still needed to download a different version just for AS.

I appreciate a Linux version of the software, but honestly installation was quite painful. It's also very generous of the developer to have a 30-day trial without limitations to the software I wanted to transcribe a piano song from an anime, and AS got 99% of it correct without any user input. Some feedback after using AS demo for a few hours:įirst of all, it's a very impressive piece of software.
