I will have to check later to see if I can 'un-link' Avid from my iLok account.
If they already have an agreement with iLok to be able to manage our accounts then why would they request my iLok password?? The more I think about it the more I am not liking this idea. I have a couple HD assets in my account and I'll be irate if Avid goes in and starts messing with those.
I also found it interesting that they give you iLok assets for PT 10, 11, 12 and PT 2016. Doesn't look like there will be a PT13. I'd guess that after PT 2016 there will be a PT 2017, etc.

I was enver asked for my password when buying a plugin from avid or a third party vendor. All they asked was the Ilok account name. Even if it was in app, Avid would not need the password to deposit the license. Although managing the license so it's placed automatically on the ilok used by your PT session would require access to your Ilock account.... I'll ask around about that.
