That's great to hear! I'm so glad the video was a helpful reminder. Thank you for taking the time to check it out and leave a comment, it's much appreciated.
Just subscribed. I need to reset my Mac to factory settings. I have an ilok with protools. After resetting the Mac can I plug in the ilok and use protools again.?
Thanks so much for the sub! If you re-install iLok license manager, then yes you should be able to just plug your iLok back in, log in on iLok license manager and be good to go 👍🏻
Hi, A question: I have bought an SSL interface that includes a free package of plugins, which I have to install and license. The thing is that the plugin package contains plugins that I already have. What should I do with them? Thank you.
So glad I came across this may I ask once I deactivated the piugin do I just plug my 2nd generation into my new macstudio..or do I have to call the company for a new license so I can download the dmg..file
I'm so glad the video was helpful! Once you deactivate it, it should go back into your "available licenses" section and from there you can activate the license to your iLok key or your new computer. You should be able to grab any dmg files you need form the plug-in manufacturers web site(you may need to log in to access them). I hope it goes smoothly for you!
Hey, maybe you can help me out. I have an old iLok that seemed to have corrupted yesterday. Never had an issue with it before. I tried to launch a plugin that uses this iLok, but it was telling me the plugin was not activated. I went to the iLok manager and it showed that the iLok was greyed-out. I also noticed another iLok that was plugged in with 0 licenses on it which is very weird as I don't have another physical ilok. It seems that it corrupted and the serial number changed. Whenever I plug in the iLok, it shows as a different ilok with a different serial number and 0 licenses. The computer is thinking it is a different or new ilok. I'm unable to transfer any of the licenses from the greyed-out location to anywhere else.
Sorry, I haven't run into that particular issue so I'm not sure what to do. I'd open a ticket with iLok support: help.ilok.com/contact_support.html I hope they can get it sorted out for you!
I mad 3 macs, max studio M1, trash can, and apple tower. I would like to use my plug ins on at least two. is it possible to share the plug ins and licenses? i want one to be for just music production and the other two if I can for mastering.
I think that all depends on the plug-in developer. Some give 3 licenses, most only 2 or 1 though unfortunately. In that case you have to carry your iLok key around and plug in to whatever machine you're using or have as many any the cloud section of iLok as are compatibly. It's pretty annoying!
I hate ilok. Cant you just plug in your ilok key to another computer and use it or is it specific to that computer? I just got a new computer and thought that i could just plug it in and access my plugins but its not working so i guess that doesnt work? The plugins i have do not allow to add them to the computer, just cloud or ilok key. What happened to the good o'l days when you could just download the software and be done. I have a few plugins like that and its simple. This damn ilok always frustrating and giving me problems.
If you have iLok License Manager installed on your other computer and you log in there, then yes, you should be able to plug your iLok in there and have everything work. I agree, it is annoying though and wish we didn't have to deal with it!
@@SeawellStudios stupid me. I guess i was supposed to download the actual software into my new computer. I guess for some reason i thought it was just supposed to work lol. All good now
Did you happen to have zero downtime/TLC plan on your iLok 2? If not, I would reach out to iLok support to see the best way to get those licenses from your broken iLok transferred to your new iLok. Just a heads up, you may end up having to reach out to the plug-in companies directly.
If your key is physically broken and you can't connect it to your computer to transfer licenses, you'll either need the Zero Downtime/TLC iLok plan or you'll have to contact the manufacturers directly to get replacement licenses deposited into your account. I'd contact iLok support to find out the easiest path!
I don’t think so. As long as you have your ilok log in info, those should work on any computer you log in on with the iLok license manager app. It would just close out any cloud session you have on another computer.
Source location is not accessible Please run iLok License Manager on "MacBook Pro" if you want to perform any operations on this location. If access to this machine is no longer available and you would like to have your activations reset, please report this machine as unusable via the machine locations's context menu or "Show Details" view. ????
Man that sucks, I'm not quite sure what the best route would be in that situation. Reach out the iLok and hopefully they can work something out for you! help.ilok.com
I'm sorry but I have never run into that particular error so I'm not sure what to do. I'd reach out to iLok support: help.ilok.com/home.html I hope they get it sorted out for you quickly!

I defineitely dont have access to the computer that it was activated on. How can i reset the activations without the computer i had before?
This one should help in that case: ruclips.net/video/M8breXJo6C8/видео.htmlsi=NaVamIkRnjVbdoSm

@@SeawellStudios thanks! I figured it is a very strange issue. Hopefully they will be able to help out.
@@StevenQBeatz yeah I'd love to know what you find out if you have time later, thanks!
@@SeawellStudios I just contacted support. I'll keep you updated!
My laptop is running pretty slow and I think I’m gonna do a factory reset, would this work the same doing it that way?
Is this an issue if all your licenses are on your iLok USB?
I lost my old one and my old computer is trashed I had to get a new one and buy a new ilok… any idea how I can retrieve my old plugins?
I would contact iLok support in that case. They should be able to help!
My buddy has an Ilok with different plugins than my own... Is there a way to share ilok info so we can use each others plugins?
I don’t think so since you can only be logged in to 1 account at a time.

@@cgrcjet not your fault at all, it's pretty convoluted in my opinion! Glad you got it working!
J'ai une question, j'ai cassé ma clé ilok 2 j'utilise pro tools 11 . Quesque je doit faire ? Je peu utilisé une ilok 3 ??

@@SeawellStudiosmerci de la réponse. La clé et casser physiquement je ne peu pas la brancher à mon pc
@@SeawellStudiosj'utilise pro tools 11, ma clé et un ilok 2 mais elle ne se vend plus, je pzu utiliser ilok 3 ?
iLok 3 should work with an iLok 3. I'm pretty sure I was using iLok 3 when I was on Pro Tools 11.
If your key is physically broken and you can't connect it to your computer to transfer licenses, you'll either need the Zero Downtime/TLC iLok plan or you'll have to contact the manufacturers directly to get replacement licenses deposited into your account.

Do you also have to deactivate the Icloud ones?
I don’t think so. As long as you have your ilok log in info, those should work on any computer you log in on with the iLok license manager app. It would just close out any cloud session you have on another computer.

Can you do one on Analog lab 4?
You’re a gem 💎
I’m so glad you found the video useful! Thank you for your kind words.
Do you have to use ILOK to use OZONE 11 elements?
You should be able to just activate the license to your computer instead of iLok with the iZotope Product Portal app.
What if my iLok is in the cloud and stuck on a computer I no longer have because it was stolen
Man that sucks, I'm not quite sure what the best route would be in that situation. Reach out the iLok and hopefully they can work something out for you! help.ilok.com
For me it says error message the license does not belong to you 😢assist if you can thank you !

Using ilok should be illegal
Frl
iLok is such a shitty little system.
