Unhappy New iLok from Digital Village is already registered to another iLok.com account!?

Just bought a (new) iLok key from Digital Village South London store today (not online, from the store). Took it back home, tried to link it to my iLok.com account and all I got was this message:

iLok with serial number 0x000***** cannot be used because it's registered to another iLok.com account.

Uhm?

I then inspected the key more carefully and I noticed a couple of tiny stains on it and a few (minor) scratches. So I suppose they actually sold me an old key! CHEEKY!!!

Problem is, I will not have the time to back to the store for the next couple of weeks and I need it working as soon as possible.

Is there a way to simply format it? I emailed iLok.com but I'm still waiting for response... Do you think they might be able to help me out? I have the receipt / proof.

So frustrating... How could they!?

Thanks.

Ilok deals with customer service in a very methodical way. It would surprise me if you get anywhere in a short period of time. The very nature of an ilok is to keep you out of it so I doubt a re-format by you is an option. Call the store.

If it was me, I would call the place that sold it to me...and just rip right into them!!!

No, there's no way to reset this quickly. You should contact the dealer and ask that they replace it for you.

Allow me to share my ONE experience with I-lok. Mine got broken (get a 6-inch USB extension cable NOW!!!) and I sent it to them overnight...they gave me a new one, overnighted it back to me, WITH authorizations uploaded, ready to go, AND the 6-inch USB cable. Total cost to me was $18 for shipping. Period. Total down time was not even two days.

Glad to hear that went so well for you. The problem that vytis is facing is the ilok is registered to someone else. By the time they sort that out and with the weekend coming and having to do this from London, he may not be so fortunate. But I am glad to hear something positive about ilok support.

And you are absolutely right about the ilok extension cable.
