Managing Your iLoks and Licenses

The iLok License Manager allows you to easily manage your iLoks and Licenses. Now that you’ve

seen how the application is laid out, let’s take a look at how to manage your locations (iLoks and

computers) and your licenses.

Registering an iLok

Once you’ve signed in, connect your iLok(s). If an unregistered iLok is connected, a pop-up will

appear asking if you would like to add the iLok to your account; select “yes”. The iLoks will be

registered to your account. The iLok(s) will no longer appear grayed out in the left hand navigation

column.

Activating a License

Activating a license means that you will be placing the license on a location (iLok or computer) so

that you can use the license to authorized the associated software. Start by clicking on your

Account and the “Available” tab. This view will show all licenses in your account that are eligible for

activation, and will show you the location types (1st or 2nd generation iLok, computer) to which

you can activate the license. Licenses in bold type are ones you have not yet clicked on to see

their Details.
