iLok is Down and Pro Tools Wont Work! | Here is The FIX!!!! iLok holds the licenses for your protected software. When the iLok cloud goes down, so does a bunch of other stuff including Pro Tools! Here are some ways I have found to continue working.

At this point of commenting, I m 3 years late 😂😂 I’ve had my ilok for absolute years. I’ve got so far 713 licences on it & never had a back up. Doh! I suddenly was paying some attention to it tidy & realised I really should back this thing up. ZDT & TLC done. I just also thought just how incredibly catastrophic it would be if my ilok burned out or something. I came to find out about the addition of the cloud option. You’ve just convinced me not to go there at all. Cheers my namesake 😊 Love the channel btw 👍🏾🇬🇧

Hello! I don;t have Ilok protection based plugins yet but I am thinking about getting some and I have a question. So if I have the license on the desktop activated and I want to activate the license on the ilok usb, when I deactivate the license on the desktop will it allow me to copy the license to the usb (not just move it from the desktop) so I have all licenses on the desktop and USB ilok even though they could be activated in one location at a time? So this way this is also like a back up by storing the licenses in the both locations even though I do understand clearly that they can be activated in one location for use at a time.

Totally understand the frustration. team avid share the same frustration as well. Besides the downtime, they also decided to turn off their status page status. ilok. com which tells users what issues are happening. So sorry for the troubles. the avid team is already in meeting with PACE (ilok) and are reevaluating structure and precautions so these awful blockers don't happen again.

Oof, I remember when this struck. Luckily I wasn’t actively working at the time due to study, but it was a pain and took me days to fix it after the servers were back. Like I was out of commission because I had to refresh my cloud session. Bought a key first chance I got after that. Then a few weeks later some people I knew were working a session and decided to use collaboration cloud. After a good long session, the servers went down and they lost it all. I never took my chances with that garbage, I’ve always got at least 3 storage mediums on me at all times when I work a studio gig
