Default Ilok cloud question

Hey there! I've been using PT at my studio on an ilok cloud account and now I am wanting to use it on my laptop at home. When I open up Pro Tools on my laptop I get this message:

"Click the OK button to close the other session and open one on this computer. The cloud licenses will no longer be available on the other computer if you do this."

Does this mean I won't be able to use it at all on my other computer? Or does it mean it will just temporarily log me out of my other computer while I'm using it on my laptop? Thanks!

This ^^^


I use iLok Cloud too.

There is a menu item in iLok License Manager called "Close session", if you had selected that on your studio PC before you went home, there would be no warning.
It's also the first thing to try if something's not right with iLok - close session, and open it again.

Welcome to the community.

It's just temporary in that the current computer takes over. When back at your other machine you'll see a similar message when you start up (assuming you haven't manually closed your cloud session on the previous machine).
