Just wondering, as my ‘red’ it old & losing it’s one side. So if I get a ‘purple’ will it be as acquit? In other words, do the colors carry any relevance?
Please enlighten me or just tell me to go back to sleep!
Way back in the day I remember sales reps had red dongles which I think activated everything. 
No real world difference.
The ‘purple’ one is the only one that can be bought nowadays. The newer dongle will be better in that it does faster calculations, and some have noted that it speeds the daw up slightly.
Now, Go back to sleep. I certainly will.
Red dongles are for NFR licenses and they have to be activated every 3 month.
