Pro tools iLok cloud

[metalmixer]

The Pro tools manual doesn't say much about - they just say go to ilok.com and ilok.com don't even mention it ....

I'm with you on this. I've been trying to figure this out, no luck and when I try to download the manual, not available.

Ok well, I've made some headway but still can't get it to work. Here's what I found:
1. Need to have at least iLok license manager 4.0
2. open ilok license manager and in the file menu select open cloud session
It will say that it opened all enabled cloud licenses, except there are no activations in the cloud section.
Pro tools won't open, that's as far as I could get. Could not find any other info that might be helpful.
Anyone actually get this to work?
Cheers

I did a video on it.
I am on the edge of being sick. Tried to sound "healthy" though I was probably a bit boring and trying to hard!! And yes, my Ilok screen is seriously scrambled on purpose. You don't need to see all my goods!!

You also need to have your licenses removed from your Ilok.
Fully signed into your Ilok account.

Yeah, I’d read that. It’s a helpful article. Thanks.

Doesn’t explicitly cover the above scenario, but like I say, I reckon it was an outage on their side.

Inferring from the article, when I restarted the same machine and tried to open a fresh session, it should’ve closed the first one (which it did prompt me to do, actually), then started up a fresh one (which is where it started bugging out until this morning).

I was able to open ProTools HD on my MBPro without an iLok, but NONE of my Avid plugins in the cloud would authorize. The only way to get it to work was plug in an iLok and the license would download for that plugin to the iLok, even when the plugin showed as being CLOUD available.

Still, it's only day two, right?
