Yes and no. As far as I understand it Avid scapped the concept of "system" when they separated PT license from core card purchase.

As JFreak noted Yes and No

No,, Carbon does not ship with a physical iLok (because a physical iLok Dongle is not longer and absolute requirement to run PT ....

So
Yes,, Carbon is a complete system and needs no other hardware to run . Unless you need (like no,,, or insufficient, internet speed) or simply prefer to run an iLok dongle) .
