How do I activate plugins for factory bundle

[karlomni]

I read the instructions and there is suppose to be some kind of serial or activation number for each of them, but I did not see any on the cards. Everytime I start up protools it says to activate them as well. I am really confused, can somebody please assist me. Thanks.

The Factory bundle requires (and comes with) and ilok for authorizations.

I have the ilok and it is in a usb port. Does this mean it is faulty?

You may have installed updates for optional paid plug-in or other software that was not included with the particular product that you purchased. For instance, you may have the pre-authorized Mbox/Mbox 2 Factory iLok, but installed the 002/003 Factory bundle by mistake. Installers for both bundles are included.

If you have installed software other than what you purchased, see the page linked from the iLok Authorization Info link on the right side of the Support section:
www.digidesign.com/support

Near the top on that page is a link to this page:
Pop-up Authorization Messages - Trial Licenses - Removing Optional Plug-Ins & Software

To find out what licenses are on your iLok, you would need to create an iLok.com account and register the iLok to that account. If you have not already done so, you would create an iLok.com account yourself at iLok.com:
www.iLok.com

Once you create an account there, your iLok User ID is what you use to login to your account on iLok.com (not your login password, which you also choose)

Your iLok.com User ID is not printed on your iLok. You would choose your own iLok.com User ID and whatever password you want.

If you are new to using iLok.com, we have some tutorial videos on the Digidesign website that explain how to use it on that same iLok Authorization Info page mentioned above :
