We have updated the iLok Cloud FAQ so hopefully that explains things more clearly.

You should be prompted to save changes, so if it's crashing then I'd suggest starting a support case via my.avid.com > Access The Support Center > Equipment to troubleshoot this.

Point taken, but please keep in mind that iLok is used by more companies than just Avid.

Agreed, so I'm passing your feedback on to our Product Managers and EDU group.

Thanks and yes, it's crashing and I will start a support ticket today. I was just mentioning it to a friend of mine. I actually noticed the crash about a week or so ago and thought it was due to something I did. It happened again recently so I did a few tests and was able to duplicate the crash. It's also crashing if I disconnect from the internet.
Protools Ultimate 2018.12/ OS 10.13.6 on both computers.

you're gonna need multiple Avid and ilok Accounts to do it.

Having a mini-safe attached to each desk in the classroom that has Pro Tools installed, just to put in the iLok is just messy. A CLoud Activation solution would make so much more sense.

I really, really second this!!
