Default PT 9 license will only work on 1 ilok at a time?

I bought a second ilok ($60), thinking I could use it to run PT9 o my laptop AND my desktop, which stays at my home studio. I went to www.ilok.com, very excited that I would be able to add my licenses to another ilok...and..you can't! You can only "transfer" them back and forth?? Is there a work-around for this? I guess I didn't need to spend the 60 bucks, but what if someone wants to work on a session on the desktop, while I am working on a session on my laptop at home. Is it possible to get AVID to issue a second license to my second ilok?

No.

You can get a second license only by buying it from Avid or some reseller.. Look in the FOR SALE threads here on this board.

YES, it's possible but you have to pay for it.

2 computers, 2 iLoks, both being used at the same time? That's a completely independent 2nd copy of ProTools, which you'd have to pay for. Why would they offer it for free? We'd just give it to our friends.

iLok is a whole new ballgame for folks coming from LE...

Just rockin'...what more is there?

Not necessarily - I came from LE and had several plugins that required iLok.
But still, I agree. One must not start mocking.

I'm willing to cut the guy some slack too. But it IS kinda funny, him thinking that buying a $60 iLok would allow him to make another copy of $600 software. If only it worked!
