I am using Infuse 8.4.2 on a Mac and have subscribed to Pro. When I try to play a movie with a DTS audio track, Infuse pops up a prompt asking me to enter a password for unlocking, which is already included in my Pro subscription. However, after I enter the password, it prompts me that I have not purchased this feature. Why is this?
Every time I open the software to play a DTS audio track, this prompt box pops up.
I don’t know why you are having to “purchase” DTS multiple times.
But I can explain why this is a separate purchase for DTS even though you have a subscription to Infuse.
The first thing to make clear is that the purchase for DTS is free.
The DTS support is licensed by Firecore from Dolby and they have to pay a license fee to Dolby for every user who uses it (don’t know if it is a one-off fee or an annual fee). If Firecore paid this license fee for every purchase of Infuse, but there are users who never use DTS, then Firecore would be overpaying license fees to Dolby. So what Firecore have done is to make the DTS support a separate but free purchase. Now Firecore only need to pay the license fee to Dolby for the number of DTS purchases.
There is another Dolby Audio (can’t remember what it is called) feature that is also licensed in the same way.
