What is an iLok? How does it work and why do I need one?
An iLok is a special USB device that holds your licenses for iLok-protected software.
Software publishers use the iLok to provide secure protection for their software. When you run the iLok-protected software, it looks for your license on your attached iLok.
- It's portable - Authorize your software anywhere it is installed. From home, work, or remote location; your licenses are with you, not your computer.
- It's convenient and cross-platform - Store your Mac and Windows iLok-enabled software licenses all on a single iLok. An iLok can hold over 500 licenses (2nd Generation).
- Worry Free - Your licenses are on the safest, most secure solution: the iLok. With Zero Downtime&trade available you've got 24/7 peace of mind.
