For those that want portability, then, you may have the opposite situation and go for iLok oriented plugin makers.īTW, I haven’t knowingly used the iLok Cloud before and I find it a bit confusing.
#STEVEN SLATE TRIGGER 2 PACE ERROR REGISTRATION#
If they use machine registration and can easily be un-registered from a crashed PC and registered again, quite a plus for some people. I might venture to say that these criteria could drive the choice of plugin makers to buy from and stick with. A few more, but those are the major ones. The ones I like that I have tied up on the dongle at the moment are Nembrini, Eventide, Slate Digital, and Soundtoys. I would say that if you want to carry the licenses on an iLok, you’re limited to those plugin makers that offer it. I actually have many more licenses still available to me on the PC (which didn’t crash) because of the machine based licensing format they use. I don’t know that you can have all your licenses with you, since there are a significant number of plugin makers who don’t use iLok or even offer the option IIRC. Having all your licenses on a lanyard that travels with you is usually more than a convenience. Thanks for the BackBlaze suggestion though, as incidentally I’m also in the midst of reworking my computer backup situation. I still have licenses (on paper) so I don’t need to recover them, just re-authorize to computer or another iLok. As long as you can re-authorize licenses to recover, it’s probably not that big of a deal, but it seems plugin makers and iLok put limitations on this, which might be the big complaint. So I’m not saying dongles aren’t worth it, just asking the questions in light of experience. Or register them to the computer instead. I actually have a never-used iLok 1 that might suffice for now also, if I can just re-authorize the licenses.

Just with how the software manufacturers and iLok handle repeat registrations.
#STEVEN SLATE TRIGGER 2 PACE ERROR LICENSE#
I have all my iLok license codes handy, so that’s not the problem. I’m now trying to figure out if I really need the Recovery, or if I can do some of this myself. Though I’m not clear on what happens with computer crash. I actually have seen this coming, but didn’t act quickly enough on ZDT. So it’s the opposite right now for me, I have iLok licenses (some of them) registered to the computer so I can still use those. Oh, my computer is fine, no crash or anything. In comparison, what do you spend on other subscriptions phone, streaming, etc? Can your discretionary income accommodate the additional cost? If you’re on this forum, then I think the answer is probably yes. If you’re an enthusiast, the answer is less clear cut though.

Your ZDT subscription is tax deductible so just get it. Okay, to your question: If you are a pro, it’s a no brainer. I tried quite a few over the years, and these guys win so far. No backup? I very highly recommend Backblaze. So, I assume you recovered from a backup and still cannot get everything back. When your host dies, it’s not an “if”, your licenses are all on the lanyard, not on the now dead host…

For many, it’s a necessity.Īlso, dongles ensure “business continuity,” which you have now witnessed the lack of firsthand.

That said, they are a fact of life if you’re an audio pro. I dislike dongles as much as the next person, that’s why we got rid of ours at MAAT. convenience over time? I don’t think computer assigned licenses can be recovered, they recommend uninstalling iLok licenses before your computer crashes. Most iLok codes allow a number of installs, for say multiple machines. And I think I can re-authorize the licenses to the computer, but that might conflict with something if I log in to iLok, so it may not work. I had already started saving licenses to my computer instead, for quite some time, so I’m not completely sunk. It will also cost $23 for FedEx Express Saver shipping (slow boat) - for something the size of my finger! Maybe tax on top of that. for “License Recovery Fee”, which will include a new iLok 3 USB-A (I wager that’s what the recovery fee is actually for, the rest is a cakewalk). For an RMA (return authorization) submission without ZDC they want $50 U.S. For a few months I have intended on getting their Zero Downtime Coverage (that nagging feeling) and I waited too long.
#STEVEN SLATE TRIGGER 2 PACE ERROR INSTALL#
I did a License Manager install on my Windows 10 box and same issue.
#STEVEN SLATE TRIGGER 2 PACE ERROR WINDOWS 7#
It won’t light up (except a flash when inserting), and Windows 7 will no longer recognize it. Over the years many people have complained about iLok’s, though I was apparently lucky to never have had a significant problem.
