Re: Old iLok 1 killed by software update
No, it's clearly the software update responsible for "killing" the iLoks! In one case, as I described, it was the PT 10.3.8 update and in the other it was moving a license to the iLok.
The iLok is not dead in the sense that it has a hardware failure. It can be seen as USB device and it clearly works when used with the iLok License manager. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to move the licenses from the zombie-iLok, right?
In the 10 years I am supporting our systems I only had one dead iLok hardware-wise (apart from two that were clearly mistreated and broke)
The point I wanted to make is, that a simple software update can render your studio useless and there is no going back other than having a spare iLok at hand. (not that these things are cheap, eh?)
