Take Your Software Licenses With You!

Save time with the iLok! These days, audio production happens piece by piece — and often on multiple computers. Maybe you track at your house, bring the session to a friend's house to mix, then bring it back home to polish everything up. Or, if you're in a big-time studio... you share time between Studio A, Studio B, and Studio C. So what happens when you have a hand-selected, personal crop of plug-ins that you want to use, no matter what computer you're working on today? In the past, you'd have to forget about it — or spend the cash to install the software on each and every machine. Today, just get an iLok.

This handy USB dongle can store more than 150 plug-in authorizations from any manufacturer that supports iLok. Just have the software or plug-ins installed on the machines, and when you have your iLok inserted you'll be able to use them. Someone who doesn't have those licenses on their iLok won't be able to use the software installed on the machine. It's that easy. This is a real timesaver for anyone who's serious about knowing and using a certain selection of plug-ins. Now you don't need to bring your computer with you just to get working with familiar tools... you just need to bring your iLok along. iLok is a pro audio must-have.

PACE iLok Features at a Glance:
  • iLok holds 150+ authorizations from any manufacturer
  • Take your iLok dongle anywhere, and use the software on any computer
  • Works with both Mac and PC

Take your software licenses with you — get the PACE iLok!

You've got to have it. The first time you have to reauthorize all of your plug-ins after a hard drive crash you'll see. The first time you want to take your plug-ins to a different system you'll see.
