And more than just a key ring... put a name/address tag on the keyring and maybe a Tile tracker or Apple Air Tag.

Thanks Darryl for these good advices!

2-how big are your sessions? Could Pro Tools Artist cover your portable needs?

My sessions are a bit large for PT Artist.

But anyway, an iLok is also necessary for artist no?

Nice to hear that your work places all have a connection, but the planet is a way bigger place, with a lot of places where the connection is all but reliable...

Yes, but it might have been a budget-friendly solution. Another option might be a used license for a slightly older version(depending on your OS)
