Ugg. That is no good. I've only got a few things on iLok fortunately. Hope you get it sorted out soon.

I did. Restarted Sonar so it would cycle. It's just an odd glitch I get from Slate stuff sometimes.

Life is full of challenges. My iLok is not one of them. I have a spare and I pay the ZDT fee every year.

Same here. I do admit I would feel a bit paranoid without ZDT as I have about 120 licenses on there now.

The thing about iLok is you can plug it into any computer w/ the programs on it and you are authorized.

Unless it's a Slate product which seemingly likes to deactivate itself randomly like it did for me again today even though the bloody ilok was plugged in. Seriously, potato coding.

Are you using the subscription plugins? They have to be "refreshed" every month by going into the
iLok Manager and you'll see a Green double arrow next to the name of the plugin pack. Right click
and hit "refresh" and it will renew your subscription for another month....

Nay, I removed those. This is the VMR.

In that case you may have to reinstall the plugin. Sometimes, in updating,
the software goes wonky....I've had this happen with Softube Plugins going
non-functional and I just reinstalled and all was well...

Just formatted the whole computer when I loaded 10 on it. Still did it. hehe

Are you running the most recent iLok Manager? That will have an effect also...

Yup. Everything is up to date.

I did have issues with iLok under the current Preview Build of Win 10...

It was non functional...I had to roll back the the previous build of Win 10...

don't know if that's related...but just a thought
