But if you have a lot of plug-ins you're gonna need a second license for any if those that also use ilok. If you find a plug-in company offering second ilok licenses I'd like to know. The closest I can think of is waves new v9, but I honestly haven't really paid attention to how it works. I just know there's a cloud option that makes it easier to move around.

I never quite understood the need for a second Pro Tools asset. If one is doing enough business to need a second rig up and running, it seems that buying an additional license would be appropriate.

Some companies are nice enough to give you a few licenses, but they are indeed few. You certainly can't buy a game these days that you can run on two machines at the same time. Most software requires a second license for legal use.

Re: Is registration on 2 iloks posible ?
Simple.
Imagine you're mixing a band live using PT, and you only have one iLok with one license. Then imagine some --shole doing some stupid mistake that makes your iLok break and the audience should come in within an hour. I would love to put in a spare iLok with a backup license just to boot PT up and replace most of my mix with stock plugins, compared to having a total nightmare... I'd love a backup license. Now since PT9 I'd have to buy two

Breaking an iLok is the least likely scenario. It can happen, but it is unusual. Propellerhead's Reason has a great validation scheme, but I doubt we will ever see Pro Tools do a "key or cloud" licensing. Then again, we all know going in that Pro Tools needs an iLok. Such is life. There are plenty of alternatives.

In a word, no.

Re: Is registration on 2 iloks posible ?
At first I found the whole ilok thing to be a PIA. But, it is a cheap and reliable way to provide a floating license (that is not tied to a specific computer) for your software.
iLok provides the ZDT service and you can purchase a spare ilok. So if your main ilok is lost or broken, you just need access to the internet and presto, your spare ilok is now loaded. Cloud licensing is interesting, but then, it also requires internet access. There is no free lunch. I think Avid's approach is reasonable. So quit whining and take your ilok home with you.

Re: Is registration on 2 iloks posible ?
Amen! Another "no brainer" to me. Especially now with the iLok2 being able to hold so many assets. I put all the important stuff on that and bought the ZDT coverage(I have 4 other iLoks, but my world won't end if any or all were to disappear or get broken)
