Default Re: Help!!! Broken ilok....

My iLok is wrapped in foam & lives inside a sturdy glasses (!!!) case. I ran a USB extension cord through a hole drilled in the case, so the iLok is never touched or plugged in/out.

i feel for those that have broken iLok's and i understand that it can happen while trying to be careful ..

ZDT is well worth 30.00 a year imho .. and hope to never need it

cheers john
I put so much faith in the ZDT program when I got into using two machines for audio and some of the programs were migrating over to the other machine I pressed into service my unused former backup iLok and got ZDT on that. Said it before and will say it again: it's the least expensive insurance you'll ever purchase and well worth it when you need it.
