Default Use S3L-X without original ilok?

Hi.
I have the possibility to buy a used S3L-X system from a bankruptcy sale. For several reasons i won't be able to get the licences transferred from the previous owner. Therefore i am wondering, do i need the original ilok to operate the mixer? Or can i just buy a new Pro Tools licence and the plugins i want and use it with the mixer?

Regards, Morten

Except for the missing Plugins you will have to check to get the live sound toolkit that resides on the protools ilok.

On a normal S3L system there are two Iloks, one installed in the engine for the Plugins and one for protools and the toolkit

Ok, so without the ilok for the live sound toolkit i won't be able to use the mixer?

Is there a way to buy this?

Live Sound Production Toolkit isn’t sold separately, so you’ll have to do some finagling to get that, maybe support can square you away. Either way, after the purchase, you’ll want to call support and see if they can work out doing an ownership transfer.

Yep! Your own iLok will be fine.

You can operate the S3L normally without an iLok. Built-in components such as the EQ, compressor, gate, etc. will all work fine. If you purchase new plug-in licenses and install them on an iLok connected to the S3L, they will work as well.

If you want to record more than 32 channels with ProTools, you will need the Live Sound Toolkit license on an iLok connected to your computer. This license enables ProTools to record up to 64 channels using the built-in audio driver support of your chosen OS.

NOTE: The 32 channel limitation is only with Pro Tools. You can record the full 64 channels from your S3L without this license (or an iLok) if you use software such as Waves Tracks (which I have personally done many times).
