PACE 99007120900 iLok3 USB Key Software Authorization Device

Unit worked perfectly in my application to authorize a Pro Tools installation on a PC being used for onsite recording. Straight forward installation without any issues. Would purchase again.

It just works, For those of you that don't know what it is it's basically an anti-piracy device that stores your license keys. So your computer doesn't have to be hooked to the internet in order to use the software. I can have the software on two computers, That way I just Take the device with me to use on my laptop when I'm not at the studio! It's very easy to use, just plug it in! I have multiple licenses stored on that device.

Worked instantly, and now i can easily move my licences between PCs. Amazing, quality and easy to use. Transfer in iLok licence manager was easy, just drag and drop!

This is compact, lots of storage for licenses, lights up blue to ensure connected and working! Nice ILok!

Bought it "refurbished" but it came packaged brand new. 5/5

Cloud based iLok activations are things we simply have grown accustomed to. It's not a fun process, but I get why companies have to go through such lengths. With that said, I was having no issues with activations via the cloud. Activated plugins from just about every audio company I can think of, until, well one company would not allow cloud activations unless I signed up for their subscription service. On principal alone, I decided to take the hit and buy this iLok USB key. Super easy to setup, and even though I did not want to buy this, I'm glad I did. Nothing will stand in my way now bwahaha! I like the fact that I have some hardware for my licenses. And I love the fact that I no longer have to worry about ANY type of activation. The iLok USB makes sure I'm ready for whatever these companies throw at me.

I dislike iLok, and have for 20 years. But I have a bunch of plugins that require iLok. I found the other methods of iLok, machine or cloud based, to be not workable. Many plugins wont work with machine based verification, and if the drive goes out you may loose your licenses. The cloud does not work for me because my internet reception is patchy. So I bought a dongle. So far so good, but I still don't like it. I suppose if I travel it will be nice to take the licenses with me, that is a plus. It costs way too much, but it works. I also understand that boutique developers can sell plugins without having to re-invent copy protection. So I give it 4 stars.

First, I whole heartedly hate programs that require a dongle. I do most of my producing on a laptop and usually NOT on a desk with an attached dock, etc so they are the peak of inconvenience. I have a desktop and when there, it has so many extra ports, is stationary and in that config I could care less. I leave it plugged in one of the rear USB ports I wouldn't use anyway. But on a laptop these things are just annoying. That said, if you have to have one, this is a metal enclosure, is sturdy, no seams visible to open or break and it looks as good as a usb stick does to me since I like all metal usb sticks. Nothing else really matters. If you have to have it, this one does the trick. Please keep in mind that NOT ALL APPS USE THIS USB E-LICENSER!!! Steinberg Cubase for example DOES NOT use this. They have their own licenser and it's usually found in blue plastic. Check and double check you purchase the correct one.

op tijd maar niet zo goedkoop

Solved all my license management issues when switching between my machines.

Kupiłem i nie żałuję. jestem bardzo zadowolony. Nie ma żadnych problemów z obsługą jak i działaniem. Jeśli potrzebujesz mieć zawsze przy sobie licencje do swoich muzycznych (i chyba nie tylko) programów - produkt idealny. Polecam.

Cela m'a permis de sauvegarder mes licences

Nice replacement for my old iLok, also brings more space for more licenses...Everything like the adv said
