Default iLok disconnection

Hello, newbee here. Just want to know if it's ok to remove the iLok key once protools opens already? Cause my macbook pro has 2 USB only so i have to remove my ilok and connect my Midi controller keys. The other USB port is used to connect my m-audio transit interface. I have an m-audio firewire 410 and use it only at home, and when i'm on the go, i just bring and use my transit. I'm just worried what effect could happen if i continue to do so. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure you can remove the iLok once Pro Tools loads because it scans it on startup; however, I don't know if Pro Tools will be able to recognize your MIDI controller if it's not connected when the program loads. You may need to get a USB hub. Make sure you connect the Transit to the port on the left side of the computer, there are known issues with using audio interfaces on the right port. Then connect the iLok and controller to the hub on the right side.

Thanks a lot, i'm actually connecting my transit on the right side and ilok on the left. No issues so far but i won't wait for one, I guess i have to switch it next time.
