Suddenly having iLok issues out of nowhere...
Hi guys, Lately when I start up PT9 I'm getting a message telling me that no ilok is found. Sometimes it will tell me the PT9 auth isn't found, other times its Waves or Autotune. Either way, I unplug the ilok2 and plug it back in and everything is good but this is starting to get annoying. It never did this for the past year, just started doing it out of nowhere. Any ideas what might be going wrong?

I would start with a different USB port. If its on a hub, get it off the hub and straight to the rear motherboard ports.

Re: Suddenly having iLok issues out of nowhere...
If that doesn't help(its my first recommendation as well) then maybe re-install/update the iLok drivers. After that, I would probably think about moving your assets to another iLok. Speaking of that, you might check to see if the ilok will sync correctly to your iLok account.

Re: Suddenly having iLok issues out of nowhere...
Thanks guys. Yeah it syncs to ilok.com fine. I'm using the newest drivers too. It's an iLok2 and I have been considering moving all the licenses back to ilok1. The problems did start when I added the hub to accommodate my eLicenser key, but if I ditch it I don't have enough ports for everything: mouse, midi controller, iphone, ilok, & elicenser. PITA!
I'm thinking I'll plugin the ilok and elicenser direct and leave everything else on the hub. |

Re: Suddenly having iLok issues out of nowhere...
Did you remember to shut off the power management feature on all USB ports(aka Root Hub in Device Manager)? I have gone between iLok 1 and iLok 2 here without issue. As for limited USB ports, is it a laptop? Does it have a card slot where you could add more ports? What is the elicenser for? Why do you need the iPhone connected while running Pro Tools?

Re: Suddenly having iLok issues out of nowhere...
Looks like it's back to normal now. Plugged in the iLok2 and eLicenser direct and everything else in the hub then my mouse shut off, so obviously this hub is dead. Ditched it and now I'm good. Albee1952 I just saw your post- it's a desktop and no I didn't have the power management disabled- but I do now- thanks! I don't need the iphone cable plugged in but it is convenient. Thanks for the help guys!

Re: Suddenly having iLok issues out of nowhere...
With a desktop, you should peek inside. Many motherboards have extra USB headers along the lower edge and you could add 2 more ports with a USB backplane(or maybe more). Also, if you have an open PCI or PCIe slot, you could add more ports with a card.
