iLock is a real bad news.  I have 3 of them.  I refuse to consolidate to
1 since I don't trust them.  The provider, PACE whose business is only to
provide copy protection to software vendors is a vulture.  I have been
dealing with them more than a decay.  It is so unfortunate I still have
to use their copy protection.  I mentioned this before.  PACE doesn't
care us since we are not their customer, yet they blame on software
vendor who bought PACE service when something wrong happens at end user.
 I can't imagine how they sleep at night.

Granted, iLock is much safer than previous PACE protections which could
cause crashes because of memory timing, but still, iLock runs in a very
low kernel level taking your OS hostage.

I am so glad Finale is not using PACE!
