Re: Used iLok, any use?

1 - Who has an ilk but doesn't know what's on it? 2 -Blank iLoks are really cheap so who would sell an iLok with authorizations on it for less than a blank? 3 - You can't access the iLok without login info but if you had login info you would know what versions of software was on it Not sure what your true objective was but is it really worth it?

Re: Used iLok, any use?
Ok, I finallly got home and got to open this ilok to see what is on it.
iLok manager says that the ilok is unregistered and has two licenses on it. One is an expired subscription. The other is a Pro Tools Studio Perpetual. So, what does the perpetual do for me, and if it is unregistered, I shuuld be able to register it. I have done that in the past with Pro Tools Mpowered I bought on ebay. |

Re: Used iLok, any use?
How does anybody here know what you have... we've explained lots of the options and risks. Your license might work, might disappear off the iLok. You might have all sorts of problems if stuff is fraudulent/stolen. We've been all over this already.

So, I am not sure why it says "Pro Tools Studio" it is actually a standard pro tools license that was deposited in 2018 according to the license manager. Unfortunately, it is still attached the old users account. However it will activate Pro Tools 12.8.3, perhaps later but that is the latest I have tried. As for what I was hoping to get out of it, I was hoping to get an older PT Perpetual license that would work in the Yosemite to Mojave range due to compatibility with my firewire interface and the fact that My old PT MP9 won't work past mavericks and my macbook air it too new. So when I saw this I put a low bid on it, taking a chance and not really expecting much. I had bought 3 iloks in the past on ebay, but each of them attached to a bundled M-audio interface. Each of those I was able to activate on my own account but this one I can't. But in the end, it works for some field recording I want to do on my laptop. I have no need for additional plugins and I obviously can't upgrade it, but that is ok. My plan be had been to use it and just get an Artist subscription, but now it seems that I could not even use this ilok for that if I had wanted. All in all, getting a working PT 12 ilok for less than $50 is a great deal. |

Re: Used iLok, any use?
Everything about this says you bought a stolen iLok. Otherwise the "seller" could transfer you the license through Avid.
And you seem to have no problem with that.

No. I'm too polite for that.

Re: Used iLok, any use?

I contacted the seller. It belonged to his son but he said it had expired, well, one license was expirred but then it also has a perpetual that goes up to 2018.7 And he was a student so it sounds like it is an academic license that can no longer be upgraded. So now my question is, what is the legitimacy of a legally purchased academic license? APparently it is stuck as is and can't be upgraded in anyway, all I can do is just plug it in and use it for what it is already good for. Seems perfectly legal to me, but I wonder if I could even purchase plug-ins? Not that I need to, I have never used third party ones. ANyway, it all makes sense now. and for the price it is fine, One last thing, if it were stolen, which it appears not to be, how would I find out? Is there a way for users to report such things? |

If there is a way to look it up too see if it was stolen, I would be happy to do so. If I knew that someone, somewhere had his ilok stolen I would mail it back ASAP. But I have no reason to believe that is the case here. |
