I too resisted the dreaded iLok for a long time and then finally broke down and got one because my Ivory II program demanded it. So I got it. Since then it has been really convient for me for quite a few programs, my East West Play program also uses it, my TSAR-1R reverb unit uses it, so by already having it, it's no longer an issue, as an iLock will hold 99 or 100 licenses I believe. I haven't had any problems with it, so there you go.
