Default new to Ilok... what do I do?

This is my first time using an Ilok.

I got the boxed version, full install, of PT9 from FedEx yesterday.

I set up a user name at Ilok.com

I installed PT9 and the Ilok that came in the box was described as pre-authorized.

I thought that was a great idea.

But, now I am a bit confused on what my next step is over at Ilok.com.

I get the impression that I still have to do something or confirm that my brand new Ilok user name is associated with the authorization that came pre installed on the Ilok.

Can someone tell me what am I missing in my understanding?

Thank You.

best regards,
mike

whatever you need, usually gets downloaded to your iLock account, you need to syncronize your stick, and you're all set.

Technically, if the iLok came preloaded with the PT 9 authorization, you don't have to do anything except load PT 9, plug the iLok into your computer, and fire it up.
You can sync the iLok to your account at any time, like when you buy something else that needs to be added to it.

If I remember correctly, when I bought my 003 Factory, the iLok was also pre-authorized cause I don't have internet at home, and I just installed Pro Tools, plugged in the hardware and iLok and was up & running.

Only the nest day I registered all the stuff (plugins, hardware, software) on Avid's website, and registered on iLok's website, git the ilok software and under "manage licenses" it showed all the licenses and any newly registered licenses was waiting to uploaded to the iLok. Just clicked "download to ilok" or something like that, and it was ready to go.

When I bought Pro Tools 9 on Tuesday the license was waiting there at "manage licenses".

Thanks,

So, I have an Ilok user name and it seems that I have the authorization on my actual Ilok... now I have to sync that piece of hardware to the website data base?

That seems like I can figure this out.


Thank you very much, the users at this forum seem very professional and helpful... thanks for that.

best regards,
mike
