Default iLok Problem?

Hello guys,

This is not really an 11R problem but it sort of is as the 11R is the interface that I am using for the guitar, how's that for tenuous .

Just today I was using ProTools and it said that thusly:

"USB device not recognised
The last USB device you connected to
this computer malfunctioned and
Windows does not recognise it."

So the VSTs that I use have gone bye-bye. Is there any quick way of remedying this situation and/or not so quick ways of remedying this situation so I can get those VSTs up and running again. I don't really understand this iLok thing very well and found it a nuisance to buy one years ago and setting up the software in the first place.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Regards.

Hi!

What exact OS version are you currently running on? Also what 11R driver version is currently installed in your system?

Thanks

Sorry, I found out what the problem was yesterday and totally forgot about the message I posted. The iLok has malfunctioned, so that's it, gone kaput. So even though I have "iLok Licence Manager" on my PC I cannot use that as an authorizing source and thus no VSTs using iLoks will run. Fun.

So, I have to spend $65 US plus postage to send my iLok to whatever country iLok resides to get those licenses back . Thing is, I am not sure I want to. The most important of these licences to me is the Drum VST so, I am looking at getting around this by buying another drum program: EZ Drummer 3.

Regards.

For a hobbyist, it may seem like an unneeded expense, but for a pro, its an absolute must. Having said that, I have never had an iLok failure in over 20 years. I have had USB port failures and hope the OP tried other USB ports.
