Need ILOK help!!!
I have PT 10 on my Mac Pro desktop where I work most of the time. But I do travel a lot and end up working off a laptop also. Now I want to have a friend help me when I'm traveling, but how can he get PTs up on my desktop if I'm taking my ILOK w/me? There must be a simple solution to this. I understand the need to protect theft, but do I really need to pay for another set of software, or is there a simple work around? Thanks in advance!!!

Re: Need ILOK help!!!
Hi
You can only use the ilok on ONE computer at a time so you would need another Software purchase in order to use the license on two computers at once. The ilok needs to be plugged in at all times when using PT. Sorry for the bad news, Chris

Re: Need ILOK help!!!
A pro tools license only allows one installation of Pro tools to be open at any one time.
EDIT: Ooops, I see Chris beet me to it.

I haven't tried this lately but I know in 7 and or 8 you could start your machine with the ilok in it and then unplug the ilok. The programs would continue, but like I said I don't know if you can still do this.
Since previous to PT 8 you didn't need the ilok to run, maybe your buddy or whoever is doing the tracking or editing could use a version less then ver8. |

No - It scans for the ilok at regular intervals (~15 min?)

You would need to have a second iLok, registered to the same iLok account as your existing iLok.
As long as you have an internet connection, you should be able to move licenses from your iLok to "store" on your iLok account. Also something to consider when traveling if you are worried about theft, storing licenses on your account rather than the physical iLok. |
