ILOK news...what's ups with this

[studiojimi]

i got his in a couple of emails today

what's up with this?

I have just been informed of a very important situation:

Do NOT synchronize your iLok(s)!

iLok (PACE) performed a database update this weekend that *invalidated* a significant number of VALID permanent licenses.

This issue affects thousands of users.

If you install the latest iLok software, and/or synchronize your iLok(s), you risk losing permanent licenses - they will be converted to "Temporary".

Software with "Temporary" licenses will NOT AUTHORIZE, and CANNOT BE USED!

DO NOT INSTALL THE LATEST SOFTWARE.

DO NOT SYNCHRONIZE ANY OF YOUR iLOKS.

Licenses from the following companies are known to be affected:
• Abbey Road
• Antares
• Avid (Pro Tools)
• Celemony (Melodyne)
• Eventide
• Flux
• McDSP
• Slate Digital
• Sonnox
• SoundToys
• Waves

iLok (PACE) is aware of this issue.

Look here.

The issues seem to have been adressed - at least for me all licenses are okay now, so they're definitely on it..
