When any user isn’t logged in, an iLok2 will show the licenses that are on it.

Firstly the matter of how it would appear in the iLok License Manager software… For earlier versions of Pro Tools HD, you may need to download the appropriate installer to get the HD features.įollowing our discussion on Podcast 81, Andrew Kirk from iLok, reached out to us to explain what the situation is with the buyer’s iLok in this scenario. Note: The Pro Tools 11 installer is the same for Vanilla and HD, so you shouldn’t need to re-install the software.The Buyer plugs the new iLok into their system and can benefit from all the Pro Tools HD features.

Once the Buyer has paid the Seller the agreed sum, the Seller sends the iLok with the PTHD license on it to the Buyer.

The only way to remove an iLok from an account now is if it has no licenses on it, which defeats the object of buying and selling a Pro Tools HD license.

Note: It is no longer possible to unlink an iLok from an account, so this new iLok will stay registered to the Seller.

The Seller links the new iLok to their iLok account and transfers the Pro Tools HD license onto the new iLok.

The Seller buys an empty iLok (if it is a PT11HD license, it will need to be an iLok2, but earlier versions are OK on an iLok1).

You can still buy a surplus Pro Tools HD license and this is how…. In the podcast, we also discussed how the new iLok would show up on the buyer’s iLok License Manager. We talked about how it was possible to buy the license secondhand, but that the seller would need to put it on an iLok and send the buyer the iLok, as Avid have now blocked transferring Pro Tools HD licenses from one iLok account to another. Following a question in Podcast 81 from Michael Lux asking how to get a copy of the Pro Tools 11HD software because he wanted the Surround features now only available in Pro Tools HD.
