While we're on this subject, what happens if God forbid, I'm activating
something, and have a power serge, or something just weird glitches, and
my iLok gets toasted? Would Avid replace the asset? I know they wouldn't
replace the iLok. That's understandable. I wouldn't expect for them to
do that, but would they at least! replace the asset, provided I was
willing to get another iLok at my own expense? If so, I might go ahead
and order me another one just to have as a backup.
Quite frankly, I want to upgrade my iLok anyway, as I think I might have
the 1st generation. I know this as, when Ron gots his iLok, I felt his,
and man! it's physically dementionally in size much smaller, and his
also doesn't have the little protection cap over the USB end of the
apparatus.
I got my iLok included in the box with the DVD's to my m-Audio Fast
Tracks C400 interface back in 2011 when I ordered from Sweetwater. I
basically got the ProTools 9 MPower bundle with the interface. This is
why I'm saying, I think I have the 1st gen. Also, it's already half full
with licenses I need, I do believe. If I remember this correctly, Slau,
you or someone else will have to confirm this, but didn't the 1st gens
only give you 100 assets? I'm already up to 40. So, yeah...
Chris.

My understanding is that the replacement of licenses is up to the
discretion of the developer. To me, it's kind of a no-brainer to use
an iLok key for everything if possible. That said, it's also been
convenient to just throw a license on the drive to free up a USB slot
if necessary. Horses for courses, I guess.

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.
