Do I need an iLok to use software protected by iLok?

Asked a year ago
Yes, in most cases, you will need an iLok to use software protected by iLok. iLok is a physical USB or software-based dongle that acts as a secure copyright protection device. It ensures that only licensed users can access and use the software. By securely storing licenses and authorizations, iLok prevents unauthorized copying and sharing of protected software. Many software developers require the use of an iLok as part of their licensing scheme. However, there are instances when iLok protection is optional or alternative methods are available, so it is advisable to check the specific requirements of the software you wish to use. Overall, iLok provides a reliable and convenient way to safeguard software licenses and protect intellectual property.
