usb ilok required
I got the protools subscription (easily one of the biggest mistakes of my life). The autorenew was today, and my license dissapeared. When I looked at the forum it appears to say that a physical ilok is required, but I ran for the first month on ilok cloud. How do I get this worthless bug ridden software to reactivate my license. My account says I have a subscription, confirms I was billed, paypal shows the charge. My session literally shutdown in the middle of my session and now I can not open protools again because ilok says there is no license.
I started off on Digital Performer 2.6. I have used MOTU, ADOBE, Sonar, Cakewalk and even previous versions of protools and I can verify NOTHING even comes close to sucking as bad as this software. I just don't have the time to set up a new daw and transfer all my cues and programming to it. This program SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS, I have to reboot every 15 minutes and now I can not even get into it. |

Re: usb ilok required
Did you try ending the cloud session and then creating a new cloud session moving the license into the new session?

Re: usb ilok required
Yes. When I try to activate the license, under the section that says "select a location" the activate button is greyed out and it says "an Ilok USB (2nd generation or later) is required for activation.

Re: usb ilok required
If, by any chance, you aren’t seeing your iLok Cloud Session in iLok License Manager, click File and choose Open Your Cloud Session.

Re: usb ilok required
The session is open. At exactly 7:59 when my subscription renewed protools shutdiwn and when I try to open it it says I have no active license.
I go into ilok manager, open a session and find the protools subscription. I double click on it and it says lucense statis active. I click the activate button on the right. It brings up another window "select an activation location." The activate button on this menu is greyed out and under select a location it says "An Ilok USB (2nd generation or later) is required for activation. |

Re: usb ilok required
I deactivated and reactivated the license. It no longer says I need a usb. However when I try to open protools it still says I have no active license. When I open Ilok manager it says my license is active and instslled on ilok cloud. Protools still won't work.

Re: usb ilok required
How do I reinstall this awful program? It won't even let me do that. When I go to the uninstall utility there is no option to uninstall this program. I am done with this. How does anyone put up with software that is this glitchy and you have to pay for support. Is that there whole profit strategy - make the worst software ever and then make them buy a support plan?
How do I uninstall this garbage? |

Re: usb ilok required
Total uninstall and reinstall of this garbage fixed it. Anyone want to suggest better programs I am all ears. Primarily used for composing/programming, heavy heavy use of soft inst (east west composer cloud).

Yeah,
Pro Tools is certainly not for you.
