As far as duplicating- the Alchemy which has authorization on the disk also, was copied using DiskDup+ (ithink was the name of the utility).
IF you make an image, and it has to authorize, use the copy you make first-- that way you don't use up the authorization.
then you could upload that image….which would still have the authorization on it.
The Sound Designer by digidesign likely has authorize on it, but don't know about the SoftSynth.

So I managed to dig up the following diskettes for Mac:
"Sound Designer - Universal version 1.2"
"Sound Designer - Sound Files"
"Softsynth - Master Disk Version 2.1"
"Softsynth - Parameter Files"
"Softsynth - Backup Disk Version 2.1"
Disclaimer: I have no idea if these are still readable. I haven't had a 68k Mac in a few years, and even then it's been 20 years since I used these apps. Also these may well have been copy protected, as many Mac software disks were in those days, so I can't promise they would install even if they were readable.
I had wanted to archive/clone them into image files for the benefit of the community that preserved the original track and sector format, but never got around to investigating the proper/best way to clone them. Anyone know how feasible this is, or if it's even worth doing? Any interest in these apps beyond the OP?
