Activation fails!
I tried two different types. Fist normal install and starting the daw, quastion for activation will pop up, type in the serial, login to the ilok online and i have to put an ilok usb Stick in.

Second try, open the ilok license manager and activate the plugin there. Now open the daw and now the plugin will show in the activation process that a license will exist; exist for this computer, but if I click on next the same thing will happen, it asks for where it should put the license; only on an ilok usb stick.

Ok – to all who say no to Ilok. It’s not a big deal in terms of keeping your licences in safe place.
It’s the same like Waves , Arturia or Native Instruments. It just keeps certain licence type in one handy program.
I have over 50 plugins running on Ilok/Pace system with no problem at all and to be honest it runs sometimes on systems where other plugins don’t (like windows xp and old macosx lion) .
Once it even helped when one of my drives went down and had to do list of plugins to reinstall (at last on pace/ilok the list was already made so had to only redirect to previous setup and viola).

Thanks for your reply, WOWZERY. The ilok thread running in the background, isn’t it suppose to consume very little CPU? And besides, isn’t there also a thread running in the background for every non-ilok plugin that has their very own copy-protection? (I’m not implying it’s true, I’m really asking, because I surely don’t know).
What’s the reason people don’t like the use internet connection?
And what are the major negative implications of writing deep into the system? You mean the Registry or more than that?
Sorry for nagging you with the questions, I’m a beginner and I also value system security.

In reply to Daniel. No I dont think its unsafe but its another thread running in the background on your music machine, also needs internet connection to activate & writes deep into the system. Some people dont want this, so the avoid it. on the other hand, here are dozens of very good plugs, that use iLock in these days.

Why is so many people avoiding ilok? Is there any problem with it? Is it unsafe?

Yes, I was the one being rude and attacking when I was only explaining my point of view.
Yes, you are the only rational person out here.
Yes, if this is so common for you you may would’ve helped others more in sharing your experiences to calm the situation than using language that depreciates other people by telling them that they ‘freak out’ and ‘lose their minds’ and ‘lol’ing them in the end.
Yes, you are the good samaritan everyone was looking for.
Yes, I wont respond any further to this textbook trolling.
