  • iLok Gen 3 Recommendation / Confirmation

    Hello all. I am looking to move my VE Pro license from cloud to an iLok Gen 3. Would someone be kind enough to tell me if the following product is what I should consider purchasing.

    Should I be concerned that the item listed includes the name Avid?

    Avid iLok 3 USB Smart Authorization Key

    Thank you for your time and guidance.

    Peter

    @TH2019 Thank you for chiming in. I did see that. Thank you. Is there any benefit in using one over the other as far you know?

    Hello Bill. Thank you for your prompt response. Much appreciated. Actually, it's about $9 more on Amazon. I am located in Canada.

    No advantage on either side.

    You just have to determine before purchasing the iLok key which port you are going to block on the computer
    for it (USB 2/3 or USB-C).

    My HP Server only has USB 2/3 so that was a no-brianer. Thank you for pointing that out anyway @TH2019. Much appreciated. Now that I have the iLok key insertd into the slave and have moved my VE Pro 7.x license to it I have to figure out why Vienna Ensemble Pro (stereo) is no longer available to me as a Pro Tools Artist insert when creating a new session. Yet still appears as an insert when opening a prior saved session. Oh well, looks like it's back to the drawing board. Or, the Avid Community forum.

    Have a great day / weekend! Peter

  • @TH2019 Please regard the paragraph where I go on about not seeing the VE Pro stereo insert. Would help if I created a stereo instrument track instead of a mon track for starters. Brain cramp, again!
