This iLok 3 has, what, a 2 year shelf life before iLok 4.0? But a new iLok 3 aught to be the latest port. That said, if someone else can make a Lexicon 224 emulation that good, I'm putting on my sprinting shoes, selling my house (and those hi-class albatross dongles) and running wholesale into the arms of that plugin company. But, does it prevent me from owning their plugins? No. Really?!? Bill has got to be turning in his grave over the stupidity of that one. Especially when the only way I can run one on a Laptop is to have a plug-point Wall Wart within 3 feet. Having to have a $1000+ dongle is bottom-raping BS in this day of powerful computing. However, I reserve some deserved unhappiness for UA. Forget I asked.Īs for me, hate it or not, I'm not going to prevent myself from using a plugin I really like just because the company is stupid, selfish, or wants to keep the money they are owed. Although I don't understand why, like Waves, they can't let you use your own USB stick?!? Oh, right, money. And if that changes, unauthorized and re-autherize a new computer, easy peasy (unless it's for dozens, hundreds of licenses) So that isn't the perfect answer.īut if ANY of you don't like having to BUY a dongle, Slate often seems to offer a free iLok 2 with their software. For my studio iMac and traveling Macbook, perfecto.
ILOK DONGLE EMULATOR MAC LICENSE
The BEST solutions is like what Toontrack, SoundToys, etc, does: Offer a license for 2 systems. So imagine having to do a Waves or AVID license-manager-software for every friggin' plugin. It's the first time I've kept FreeOffice. Calls to Microsoft? Wait on the phone an hour to be told "No, go F yourself" I'm sure I don't have to convince anyone that 365 is a disaster. When Microsoft was selling license keys for Office and my hard drive died, Office refused to work on my image backup because it recognized the different drive and wanted me to purchase another license.
ILOK DONGLE EMULATOR MAC SOFTWARE
Try doing that off a slow WiFi on the road.Īnd AVID has their own AVIDApplicationManager for Sibelius which runs all the time (talk about stealing CPU and Memory) in order to run their software (and jeez, it took me 5 days to register and activate, I was ready to kill little furry things waiting to use that software (in my defense, I had a quartet that just had to come out, so how many furry animals would you sacrifice for Mozart? I should be worth at least one! )
ILOK DONGLE EMULATOR MAC INSTALL
I used to hate the concept of iLok but have warmed to it considering I have to use Waves Central to get my Waves licenses and sometimes that program forces me to download its own update and install it before I can get my licenses.
