iLok3 and older software & licenses compatibility question...
Hello,
Is iLok3 fully backward compatible with older software and licenses such as Pro Tools HD8 and HD10, HDpacks V8, TL Space TDM V8, TDM plugin bundles, etc...? Will it work with PTHD8 and PTHD10 on Windows 7 x64 PC? Best regards, Suad |

Re: iLok3 and older software & licenses compatibility question...
Thanks for quick reply. Did you maybe notice any performance difference compared to iLok2? Any higher CPU usage or CPU and DPC spikes? I suppose newest version of iLok licence manager and drivers must be used as well...

Re: iLok3 and older software & licenses compatibility question...
Seriously doubt there are any ”performance” that would be noticed by anyone as an ilok is just a chip with ones and zeros on it so ... No way ever would anyone say they got a performance of CPU or any other component.

However, I have one more question - I have some liceseces deposited in 2009 (never activated until now) and now I'm trying to activate on iLok gen 1. iLok manager won't let me activate most of my licences on gen 1 and requre gen 2/3. How it's possible that licences from 2009. from time when iLok gen 2 was nonexistent now don't want to install to gen1 and require gen2?! (see pic) I've seen youtube videos showing iLok license manager same lisences as mine but with both gen1 and gen2 activation available. Regards S |

Hi, Ilok 1 sounded better to me. The zero's and one's were better quality back in the day before mass manufacture. Chris

ilok1 - for warm, vintage rock and funky mixes iLok2 - for transparent pop, dance and r'n'b mixes iLok3 - for modern, loud EDM and trance mixes That's the key! Cheers, S |

Re: iLok3 and older software & licenses compatibility question...
One more thing to double confirm - ProTools HD10 on Win7 x64 PC requires legacy Interlok drivers. Even if the most recent iLok License manager is installed, to get rid of error mesage upon ProTools start, documentation suggest installation of legacy drivers from "old installers" folder. This works OK with iLok1 and 2 and all licenses I have, and after installation of legacy Interlok drivers, ProTools HD10 does not report error upon start.
My question - can anyone confirm the recent iLok License manager with legacy drivers from "old installers" folder works OK with iLok gen3 and ProTools HD10 on Windows7 x64 PC? My doubt is based on possibility the legacy drivers date is from time when iLok3 didn't exist. Thanks and best regards, Suad |

Re: iLok3 and older software & licenses compatibility question...
Old iLok software can be asked from ilok.com support.
All three license keys are running on USB1 speed. There is slight difference in security between ilok one and later, many licenses do not run on the original key any longer. Between ilok two and three only difference seems to be whether the key is made of plastic or metal, and that ilok three is available in USB-C connector as well (still running at USB1 speed).
