I would re-install the iLok driver, then log onto your iLok account(with the iLok connected) and see if everything shows up correctly. If it doesn't, open a case with iLok.

To to original poster- I just looked at you screenshot... I don't know what's in all those folders on your desktop but all that stuff could be slowing your mac down. You should notice a serious performance improvement if you get everything off the desktop the doesn't need to be there. I leave an alias on my desktop to a folder somewhere else on my hard drive. You might be surprised but that doesn't help with your authorizations...
