Your smart-ass reply sucks!!! I am a professional musician that doesn't always run the updates, mainly because Avid can't seem to make stable software that doesn't love to spit out -1097 errors, so most pro users don't like to update things in fear of ruining a tour or critical timing sessions to deal with the song-and-dance support Avid offers customers.

The FACT that iLok has a database of users, and doesn't inform them of a critical update is really poor execution. But then again Avid is the king of poor execution (see TDM - AAX, old tired out-dated website, backwards compatible sessions to 12, etc.. ).

I agree with the CUSTOMERS on here (ya know the ones that pay for Avid to survive ) that this push was really ****ty. We never run wifi for many reasons, and then to have to guess why all the sudden all our iLok's stopped working is kinda messed up. TERRIBLE execution.

I'll even write the post that should have been sent out:

WARNING - Our unneeded company will render your iLok useless, unless you update the software by this date.

Avid, you seriously need to find a solution for this mess.
NOT very happy at all!!!!!!
