Hi, What would happen if your hard drive crashed with the license on it and you had no backup made could the license be restored? If say I did have a full backup could I just restore everything back to the new drive? I am just asking so I would know what I would have to do if something happened. Nick Gawronski

Subject: Re: Question about iLoks and the iLok manager

That's not correct. What it requires is an Internet connection which can 
certainly be wireless. The connection can technically even be over an iOS 
device. What it does not require is the iLok key
itself but an Internet connection is the key, so to speak.HTH,

I have learned from my Pro Tools dealer that the Cloud only registration needs 
a wired internet connection, no wifi will do. , Anyone know why this is the 
case? I would definately like to
have a ilok-less setup.

Slau,


Thank you for your help. That's pretty much what i suspected for the answer, 
but I definitely do appreciate your confirmation on the matter.


Have a wonderful rest of your day.


Chris.

      There are 3 main variables to iLok licensing as it relates to location 
and they are determined by the developer. It's up to the developer to determine 
whether a license can
      be activated to an iLok, a computer and the cloud. Some developers allow 
all three while some only allow one or two. The third generation iLok can store 
at least 512
      licenses if not more. I'd imagine there's no theoretical maximum for 
computer activation slots. One disadvantage with computer activation is that 
you have to remove all
      license activations if you're formatting the drive. Apart from that, 
portability is a big factor for some users.HTH,

For reasons which go beyond the scope of this e-mail, and would get way too 
long-winded for me to attempt explaining, I won't bore you with why I ask this 
question. I know
typically, this isn't something most people probably would do, all be it the 
option's there, but I have to ask at least this much...


I know that 1 iLok costs around $50USD. Obviously, I already have one which I'm 
using with ProTools, as well as some plugins which require it. I see however 
that when
activating a plugin through the iLok manager, I either can put the asset on my 
physical iLok USB dongle, or I can actually put it locally on my mac itself.


I guess my main question is, like there is on an iLok dongle, is there a limit 
on how many assets will fit if I was to store them instead on my mac? Also, 
having this
option, does that mean that technically speaking, as long as I don't plan to 
move around from one system to another, I could theoreticly store the asset 
there instead of on
my actual dongle itself? Finally, what would be the disadvantages aside the 
obvious of no portability from one system to another of having it stored 
locally on my mac
instead of the key itself?


Chris.
