Re: New Waves license idea TLC 90 days only.
It's not mandatory to do this -- you gotta give Waves credit for offering something that solves the iLok loss or theft issue -- what would you do if your iLok was stolen? Do you think you'll get all your auths restored, for free, within a few hours? If this is your expectation, be prepared for frustration.
Is the Waves implementation the best of all worlds? It doesn't appear to be... BUT, for someone who travels with multiple iLoks, this may be worth considering.

The main difference between the two is that you don't need to do anything if nothing happens, except pay a reasonable fee. With Waves you have to remember to download a bunch of licenses every three months. A PITA indeed. |

Zero Downtime Coverage The iLok.com Zero Downtime program enables iLok owners to immediately replace licenses in case an iLok is broken, lost or stolen. Benefits of covering an iLok include:
...but again, you don't need to do anything if nothing happens. |

Re: New Waves license idea TLC 90 days only.
How do you RMA an iLok that's been stolen? They mention stolen but none of their details apply to stolen iLoks. Which leads to the question:
Has anyone actually gotten companies to replace assets when they were stolen using Zero Downtime coverage? Something tells me it's never happened or iLoks would get "stolen" all the time. Remember Pace has nothing to do with replacing the assets, it's up to the individual company. I just re-read your post. At the end it says right there, you'll need to file an insurance claim. This new thing keeps you from having to do that. The assets get orphaned when stolen. Completely different thing from Zero Downtime. |

Re: New Waves license idea TLC 90 days only.
Agreed, and a step in the right direction. Hopefully there will be some kind of reminder option because I know I won't remember.
I spoke to Pace when I signed up for Downtime and if memory serves they said that the insurance claim was needed in the event a company did not support their program. And to your statement that people will be making claims constantly - a police report is required, insurance fraud is a crime, and if an iLok keeps getting stolen, then I'm afraid that there is no help for such an individual. |
