Wanted to bump this thread as I had an issue yesterday when demoing some plugins where everything except Pro Tools could see the Ilok. Synchronize was the solution. I should've come here to see if anyone had a similar issue, would've saved me the time of frustrated uninstalling and reinstalling. Definitely a strange one as Ilok has mostly been invisible for me.

Isn’t Ilok a synonym for problem? Don’t get me wrong I love the portability, but I think the guys at Pace are responsible for more guys going out and buying hardware because of ILok issues than just about anyone.

For me, iLok is a synonym for ease of copy protection, portability, ease of upgrades or new OS or computer.

In theory I completely agree, in reality well let’s put it this way years ago somebody cut a hole in a rubber ball and glued a problematic iLok in it so I could throw it across the room without hurting anybody!! Is the iLok better than the other protection schemes? Yes, but that’s not saying a hell of a lot.

I’m always glad when someone hasn’t had problems, I just know to many who have had problems. I’ll admit I still use iLok, I just wish Pace would step up or somebody else would step in.
