Default Multiple ilok\'s on the same computer??

Can I use Multiple Iloks on the same computer or do I have to transfer all the assets onto one Ilok?

1 is from an Hd3 system running 6.9.3 and the other is from an hd2 system running 7.1.
...and if so of, do I combine all the plug-ins into the one plug-ins folder?

Thanks

Robert

I have 3 hooked up at once, and have seen as many as 7. No problemo.

I have two. One for my Waves bundle, one for the rest of them.

I'm using two iLoks, a Logic Pro dongle, five VSL library dongles, and a YellowTools dongle on my system, and have no issues. Just make sure you buy quality USB hubs.

Like the others said, it's no problem using multiple iLoks. I have one main, one Waves and one demo iLok. They are all connected to an active USB hub.

I just wish iLok.com would allow you to have your ilok and someone else's hooked up and choose between them when syncing. My hub is somewhat hidden and I have a friend that keeps his iLok here and it doesn't allow me to choose and I have to unplug his. All the plugging and unplugging makes me nervous.

Can I Jump in here???

Today, I bent my iLok pretty good, and it scared me.

Since I have too many plugs on the list that aren't covered by
the Zero Downtime, I was wondering if THIS is Possible........
Can I buy a New iLok and register it to my account and transfer
All my licenses to the New iLok that would be a little more physically reliable?
For Free?

Thanks,
Adrian

Yes, as long as the old iLok still works to de-register it from it during transfer. If it is broken / non-responsive, you will need to go through the 'send it in and it will be replaced' approach.
