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.

Attention! There are now 2 versions of iLok key: standard USB 3 or USB-C!
@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?

That's fine. It a few dollars cheaper on Amazon.
Hello Bill. Thank you for your prompt response. Much appreciated. Actually, it's about $9 more on Amazon. I am located in Canada.

And may Canada stay Canada! 😊
From your mouth to God's ears Brother.

@tonelabaudio a dit :

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!
