Anyone try this? I don't want to be the first.
The email ad for it raises some suspicion. One of the features:
"Authorize and de-authorize computers with one clock"

Re: New IK Multimedia Product Manager
It’s been around since December. A new build was released a few days ago. For the most part, it’s pretty good but there are growing pains with authorized products are looking for the old authorization manager and not getting the memo about the new.
So while the new one shows everything is good, authorized and updated, some of my IK VIs are “locked” in SampleTank. Fortunately, none of the ones I use daily such as the Imperial Grand that my wife likes are locked. Whew!
After I finish this week’s projects, I hope to have put in a support case. Don’t know I’ll get to it before tomorrow.

Re: New IK Multimedia Product Manager
Reading further, I see it only works with current versions. I've been down that road before with Waves. With any luck I won't need it.
