This is also a useful feature for situations where an iLok is used in a public location, such as universities or studios. <\/p>\n<p>If an iLok has been password protected, then the user will have to input the password only once for each machine the iLok is used on, and only for the first software product that requires a password protected iLok. Not all companies that implement the iLok support this feature or leave it enabled.<\/p>\n<p>Note: iLoks cannot be used with iLok.com when they have a password enabled.
