TL DR: One "activation" means technically one "authorization/ copy protection pass".
Ilok license manager not working install#
This means that I can install and authorize them to my computer both at my home studio AND my work studio without needing to carry any USB sticks with me. On the other hand, Kush Audio offers their preamp software to not only to be authorized also to a certain computer, but they offer two licences (= authorizations) for the software. That means that you have the USB always plugged in when you want to use it.

You are still having that one licence, but you are just allowed to use it with a couple of different copy- protected devices.įor example, when you have Lexicon Native PCM Bundle, it allows only physical Ilok authorization and you get one licence. two dongles- or in the best case, two different computers. Some companies offer you multiple licences, which means that you can actually authorize the same software to e.g. Naturally, that has a risk if your computer suddenly breaks without you being able to "free" the licence beforehand. In reality that means that you still need the Ilok software installed to your computer but you can authorize to the computer in particular instead of using the physical dongle. Usually they mention if it's allowed to authorize to a certain computer without having the physical dongle, mentioning that "no Ilok needed".

I just updated one of my machines to 10041 and the Ilok does not work any more. One activation means that you can authorize it to one device- the device being either the physical dongle or your computer, depending on the company policy. Windows 10, release 10041 Ilok stopped working.
