Temperamental iLok - licence transfer question!

[jackorion]

Hi there,

My first post here...

I have Pro Tools 10 and over the past few weeks, my iLok 2 device has been temperamental - it flashes blue when first inserted, and then I manage to get it working via the iLok License Manager... and then often it will simply stop working mid-session. Pretty frustrating, especially as it's only seen relatively light use over the past few years.

I'm sure very soon it will stop working altogether.

I'm wondering if I buy a brand new iLok, whether this procedure will work with the Pro Tools (educational) licence I have:

(Obviously my old iLok will need to still be working for the transfer)

I'm in the UK and gather the only alternative is to send this broken one back to iLok / Pace in the States. So the above is hopefully a quicker option.

Many thanks in advance for any help or advice.
