Critical iLok Update for All Users - am I the only one having bsod ? answered
Pace has released a free update for the iLok License Manager app for Mac and Windows that addresses a critical security flaw. This is a required update for all customers running iLok License Manager and those using software authorized through iLok.The latest version of the iLok software may be downloaded from iLok.com. There are installers available for Mac (OS 10.7 and higher), Windows 7 and higher (32-bit and 64-bit versions). I installed it today on my box and suddenly some blue screens of death appeared. Did a rollback and everything runs now as smooth as before. Can anybody confirm that ? regards

Pragi,
Tried to keep my cyber mouth shut about this issue, but couldn't resist. If the rollback works, don't mess with it until forced to.
I was too reactive to a similar email from Soundtoys saying if I want to continue using their plugs, I must upgrade to the latest and greatest I-Lok or else.
I've adopted Soen's advice and only have one I-Lok plug that I don't have control over. If I don't upgrade, what are they going to do? More than one way to skin a raccoon if the lights go out.
Anyway, good that Lag has not experienced any problems. Some day I-Lok will work perfectly and I'll be out of a whining job.
John
and good to see that others are not experiencing any problems... maybe there is hope...

I think iLok drivers are a bit flaky these days with 3 versions of the USB licencors alone. I really need to get a new one. As it sometimes disconnects for no apparent reason forcing me to restart my machine to reuse it.

There was a problem last week with Izotope and iLok products - one day (after a windows update which may or may not had anything to do with it!!) All my Izotope products came up as unauthorized - they are all authorized on a physical iLok.
I tried to reauthorized but did not work.
Wrote to Izotope who got back to me immediately to say there was an issue with iLok / their products - no other iLok manufactures products I had seemed to be effected.
Next day Izotope sent a note to update to new iLok version.
All now seems OK again.
I am on Windows 7 64bit, fully updated.
No idea if this has anything to do with current critical update, but might be the reason

This is what I see when I check for updates. What specific version are you having problems with? I haven't done this update because it has nothing for me.

Yup, I got the same message. Happily running on 3.1.6.1793 here, without any complications. It says 3.7 is not a required update, so I skipped it!

I think it is odd that Sweetwater is the only site with info on this security update. Even a visit to iLok.com shows the same info I got when checking for updates from the license manager.

My iLok Manager also says it is "Current", so, until
it says something different, I'll stay where I'm at...

I updated mine this morning (I'm on Win 10). Update works OK.
I have moved my Isotope apps authorization off of iLok. I have POD Farm 2 and a couple of VST's that I don't or only rarely use left on iLok. I refuse to buy anything new that requires iLok.

A quotation from the "indusrtie standard experts" message : - Just because Soundtoys have publicised this, it isn't just a Soundtoys issue. This is NOT a Soundtoys issue, or even a plug-in or a Pro Tools issue, this will only occur if you haven't updated your iLok License Manager since 30th March 2017.

Regardless, an activation issue is not the same priority as a critical security flaw, as you first posted. A little fact checking before posting something of this nature would be appreciated.

Just for reference,
I have Xpandi on two computers requiring the I-Lok online account (no dongle)
The offline computer has I-Lok ver 2.5.2 and the online 3.1.something.
Xpandi continues to work on both. No reason to tamper with what is temporarily working.
I was concerned that that there might have been an expiring certificate put in our accounts or on the dongle since more than one deverloper has said that the latest update was mandatory to keep using the software. Can't think of any other way to take away authorizations without a mandatory update, especially if you are offline.

Don´t know why youare mixing my thread theme (my question is already answered, as you can read above ) with my answers to mudgels question, John´s post (see nr.5 - soundtoys aso ) and the discussion after that. Why you leave an offending comment ? Any interests in fighting ,abacab ? If yes , tell me ,OK ? I prefer boxing.  Don´t know if I once did harm you , cause it´s not the first time you try to start arguing with me. regards

I was getting warnings on my Lexicon Plugs to update ILOK. It went about as smooth as I could hope for. But wait - that was yesterday, haven't checked today yet
