Well, the VIC thread gave us this at least, so maybe things are not as nefarious:

In addition, we would like to add that your Best Service User Accounts and associated licenses have not been impacted by this technical incident. Thanks again for your patience.

Of course, that’s good to see.

They should be…Read More

Ah, okay. From the thread at VI-Control where Best Service is posting –where the crowd quickly went toxic and people started arguing with each other  —  Best Service’s email is not working. Of course, that’s one more reason they should have been communicating in social media. I’m not looking to castigate them for this, but I just hope (1) t…Read More

I sent an email with this message in it to their affiliate manager on June 13, 2025. He has never responded:

“An e-commerce site going down for one day is concerning; three days, it looks as if you’ve gone out of business. Especially with the lack of communication.

Can you tell me what is going on? My community is asking questions.”

I haven’t seen any rumors posted here, only questions and speculation.

A LOT of people have personal stakes in the continued existence of Best Service.

For starters, it is a chilling reminder that all of these license validations that require a handshake with a server depend on that server being a…

Rumors or not, speculation or not, the silence will be filled with something as people are concerned for their financial investments. And that concern increases more and more as the time passes.

Good communication builds trust with the customers and gives them assurance that everything is under…

A malicious attack is one interpretation – there’ve been enough making the news recently that it wouldn’t be too surprising.

But all it says is that it’s currently unavailable due to a technical incident and that data security is a top priority. For all we know, this could mean they recently migrated their system to a new one, got a cyber…Read More

Yup, worked here too! Thanks for the heads-up @doug

This piques my curiosity – do you have it @bluescat?

I found this info on the big MIDI thread on KVR…

I’ve been waiting for this sale to buy Pro-Q4 upgrade for my Total Bundle!

It was £37.80 for the upgrade – nice!

Thanks @peter

Bestservice has changed the message on their site:

Our website is currently unavailable due to a technical incident. We’re working hard to get everything back up and running as quickly as possible.
Data security and the protection of your information are our top priorities. We’re in close collaboration with a team of skilled IT experts to find a…Read More

@skell Thanks for the update, Sean, and welcome to LinkedMusicians!

While the updated messages raise new questions (have they been hacked and data has been compromised? Otherwise, why are they talking about data security????), it at least shows that they’re there. So I’m going to take it as encouragement.

FTR, I am cheering for these guys. But…Read More

You should give it a try! If you like playing around in AI, I’m sure you could pull something off. It would probably only be amusing to us (this community). But that works for me!

@peter only @bapu is legend . We should make his jokes pdf

What do you think @satya? While I realize it’s an AI job, I thought the cover art looked great, so I downloaded it, hoping to get a laugh or two. Unfortunately, this is pretty much the state of AI humor. F-. But I like the vibe of the cartoon.

Point taken Peter 🙂  I am aware that these guys are getting a cut from those codes, BUT 10% off to me is still… 10% off 🙂  NI still might put out a better direct offer in the last week.  Best Service too, if they can resurrect in time!

I think this is the year I grab the Komplete Ultimate 15. As much as I’m…Read More
