How many licenses can ilok hold

You know, since the files are so incredibly small and stable, long-life flash memory is so incredibly cheap. Silly me, huh? Let's get absolutely crazy and assume that an iLok file is 2MB in size. No way in the world it could possibly be that big, but what the heck, let's assume it is. A 16GB drive would hold 8, licenses. But sounds like a fair limit to me.

Actually each iLok has free slots. Miguelo Adorno. Is it possible to check out the current status of your iLok somehow? How many free slots available etc. Is it possible to remove demo licences from the Ilok? Let's basically sum it up to this: -We are getting ripped off on the amount of available space on the iLok.

That is to say if your PC gets stolen or burned down, you get yourself a brand new iLok, but you DO NOT get the potential thousands of dollars worth of licenses on it back permanently. This is ones of the things that makes the pirates so successful. The plug-in developers are actively screwing their own users. The most popular copy protection mechanism is a total cluster-turd.

How exactly are you getting ripped off? You can simply and cheaply buy an ilok that is dedicated for demo lisc if you want. You can insure anything you want. Thanks Rif. Now I am confused I thought only the authorization is kept on the iLOK not the. So, slots either means the firmware is written for the smallest iLok possible or there is a lot of unused flash memory? This was not always the case and it is frustrating I can't keep things organized the way I would like, even with 3 iLoks.

More space and more happiness for me! This means that from now on, you will be able to activate and use your licence on multiple "locations" at any given time. These locations can be a physical iLok USB dongle, or in the case of some plug-ins, you can use your activation for authorising your licence in the Cloud or to a specific machine.

For more information about authorisation locations and which plug-ins can be authorised where, please read Which locations can I use for my Sonnox plug-ins? It is important to remember that while your licence can now be split across multiple locations, both activations are still linked to the same licence and therefore both activations can only be used by a single iLok account.

If you wish to authorise your plug-in across two different iLok accounts instead of two locations on the same account, you will need to purchase a second licence of that plug-in. Unlike activating your licence to an iLok USB dongle or to a machine, where the licence will remain in that location until you remove it manually from within iLok Licence Manager, iLok Cloud is designed to be flexible and to transfer your licences to whichever location you're signed in to at any given time.

Whenever you open a Cloud session, all your licences will automatically be moved into the Cloud if:. If you have split your two activations between two physical locations, for example to two iLok USB dongles, you will need to remove one of the activations from an iLok device before the licence is able to be authorised in the Cloud.

If you intend to use iLok Cloud regularly, we highly recommend keeping one of your available activations free at all times - you never know when or where you might want to load up your mixes! If you can't see the updates to your licences in iLok Licence Manager, you probably just need to Synchronize your iLok device. In the left hand panel, you can right click on your iLok, and hit Synchronize.
