Default How can I use one license on two different computers with a digital iLok key?

Also, how would this affect plugins like UVI Falcon that come bundled with Pro Tools?

And to be clear, I don't want to use the program on two machines simultaneously. I just want to bounce back and forth between my desktop and laptop.

The normal way to do this is just use your iLok. That's what they are designed to do. You install all the software on both computers and all the licenses on the iLok and just move it between computers.. any numbers of computers, Windows or Mac, it does not matter.

If you are new to all this, take time to read about ZDT and TLC "insurance" options on iLok.com. If you lose that iLok your licenses are gone, and even if you can get them back, you may be unable to do stuff for days or weeks, ZDT (Zero Down Time) and (ideally having a spare blank iLok) can get you going again much more quickly.

So the only way to achieve this is with a physical iLok? I don't have any iLok hardware, just the software with a digital key.

No, but that's the "normal way" and you asked about a physical iLok key specifically.

You can also utilize cloud licensing. But it can be more of a PITA especially if you don't have a reliable internet connection. Start here http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...iLok-Cloud-FAQ

You can just try it and go back to the iLok if you don't like the Cloud licensing.

Ask questions if stuff is not clear.
