Re: Old iLok 1 killed by software update
What software update are you saying caused the problem - OSX, PT or Ilok License Manager? None of those had anything to do with your problems. You obviously had a couple of iLoks that were on their way to failing and that just happened to have occurred when you did whatever software update you did. Electronics fail in mysterious ways, especially with something as relatively fragile as an iLok. Probably a latent failure due to esd zapping the iLok contacts. You can have an esd event and never feel it (like you would in winter and it's dry and you touch something and feel a zap or see a spark) or even see the effects on something without a microscope.
The fact that your iLoks are as old as they are just makes it more than likely to fail in the way I mention. I'm an EE by schooling so am very familiar with these sorts of things.
As far as Waves cloud licensing - I'm not using that but I have the licensing residing on my computer. No problems there and no cloud worries either.
