I hate ilok, it's the biggest scam ever.
This is why you should have ZDT coverage and a second iLok. ZDT is $30 US per year and the cheapest insurance one can ever have. I have it on both of my iLoks - wouldn't have it any other way. Also the free TLC (theft & loss coverage). I'd rather have an iLok than any other licensing system.

Now if only Vienna used an iLok instead of their own dongle I'd be as happy as a clam.
