is it poss to get additional M5 ilok??

Post by hrw »

I want to use MachFive at my home studio as well as my work studio computer and was wondering if it's possible to get (buy) an additional ilok licence (without buying the whole thing again) because i don't like unplugging my iloks and taking them home where i constantly forget them (like today) and it's a problem. I don't find transporting iloks that convenient for me.

I don't think so,that would defeat the whole purpose of companies having iLok protected apps.
I think it's 1 license = 1 iLok
Im not inferring this as your intention but if users could do that they could by 2 iLoks and share the licenses with thier friends.

It's not unheard of. You were once able to get a second Cubase dongle for a nominal fee (and maybe still can). Did you ask MOTU?
