Paul, Ben, and VSL:
After giving it a while, I'm happy to say that - for me - the process of switching from e-Licenser to iLok went completely uneventful for me.
Downloading was a breeze, installation was straightforward enough, nothing glitched out or gave me a heart attack. The only possible hiccup is a potential bug/performance issue with VEP7 post i-Lok change (which I've sent a support ticket for and may or may not be unrelated to the iLok switch). Everything else has gone swimmingly as far as I can tell.
Thank you for taking your time with this and executing it with patience and diligence. I know it hasn't gone as smoothly for everyone, but I think it's important to hear of the successes along with the stumbles.
