Ilok moving Pro Tools Licence from Ilok Cloud to Ilok Dongle

[Toby Davey]

Hi, 

I am in the process of moving my Pro Tools licence from Ilok Cloud to an Ilock dongle and just wanted to check a couple of things if anyone could clarify the procedure. 

Slau your demo on using Ilok manager was great and I have successfully registered my new Ilok dongle but before I try and move my Pro Tools licence I just wanted to check a couple of things. 

In Ilok Manager - if I use Command plus 1 to show ‘all licences’, I can see my Pro Tools licence.  If I want to move my PT licence from Ilok Cloud to the Ilok dongle is it just a case of deactivating the licence and then activating it to the dongle?

If I choose to   deactivate the licence with Command Shift D  - do I just press agree?  There seems to be some text that VoiceOver reads out… 

Deactivate to my cloud and set the Ilok cloud to managed mode. 

Automatic  mode - automatically activates all all cloud - enabled licences when a cloud session is opened. 

managed mode - the ilok the Ilok cloud is managed as a physical location.  Activations can be deactivated Individually.

I think this is just text but not sure if somehow I needed to select any of these options or as I say they are just text indicating what will happen if I press agree. 

I assume after I press agree it is just a case of using Command plus 2 for ‘available licences’ highlighting Pro Tools and using Command shift A to activate the licence to the dongle?

There is also Avid Falcon AAX Time Subscription in my Ilok Cloud which I suspect wil need to be moved to the dongle too in the same way. 

just wanted to check I am doing everything right before I take the plunge as i don’t want to end up messing things up and not be able to get back into Pro Tools!

Cheers

I don't have time to check the language right now but, basically, you want to stop your cloud session. When you do this, all licenses simply reside in your account and can then be authorized to a key. If you haven't used a key before, all of your licenses would either be authorized to either your local drive or the cloud session. Let me know if that's clear enough. There's no risk involved in stopping the cloud session. All licenses simply become available for authorization to whichever location you choose.

HTH,

Slau

Thanks Slau,  

Yes that makes sense to me.

Hi Slau,

Licences have all now been moved to my Ilok dongle, thanks.

All straight forward in the end.  It’s just when you see a dialogue box with text you suddenly think am I doing the right thing!

Thanks again. 

Best 

Toby

I sympathize with the slight trepidation whenever confronted by an unfamiliar or unexpected dialog. Glad it's all sorted.

Cheers,

Slau
