  • How often VSL search for Ilok validation on the cloud.

    Say :

    I chose the iCloud protection.

    I work on a song from home where I have Internet over fiberoptic.

    I go somewhere where there is no Internet what is it happening ?

    How long can I use the song without having the message that my computer is not licensed ?

  • Hi Cyril,

    You won't be able to continue working on that song at all.

    Hi Andreas,

    Thanks for your answer.

    So I cannot work in a plane, neither in a train !

    If there is an internet cut at home will it be the same ?

    How often is VSL checking for the licences ?

    During paying too  or just when you load the song ?

  • There's always the possibility to use an iLok (hardware) if you have issues with your internet connection.

    Hi Dietz,

    Can you have your licenses on the Cloud and on the Ilok ?

    Can you answer to my question so we know where we are going ?

    Thanks

    Cyril


  • No, I can't, I always use dongles.

  • Hi Cyril,

    You can move your licenses freely between your iLOK account, the iLOK Cloud, or an iLOK key - but an active internet connection is required for moving licenses between locations. To avoid misunderstandings: You can not have the licenses on the key and in the cloud at the same time. You have to move it between locations.

    Please check out our iLOK FAQs:
    https://www.vsl.info/en/tutorials/faqs/ilok

    If you plan on working offline, then using an iLOK key is the more comfortable option. The licenses are regularly checked every few minutes - also while using your products. You can not start your song once, and then keep working without a license.

    Best regards,
    Andreas

    So the Ilok protection does not improve user use of VSL

    It is even worse as you have re-download all your libs

    Having 1.53 TB of VSL Libs it is going to take a HELL of a time, also I will need to buy and extra disk to move the eLicenced files

    THIS IS NOT A PRESENT
