F***, i missed it twice now!!!

AFAIK, it’s based on the 1176.

Just curious, Is this plugin an emulation ala UAD UA 1176 AE? The colour is similar tho… That would be pretty awesome

I might have. Lucky me, then! Too bad it didn’t work for the rest of you.

Wow now I see why some people hate it. And some plugins are not cheap!

I always thought if my computer died I can just sign in to iLok and re-authorize a new machine like iTunes.

Thanks for the info.

Same here. :(

Man, you lucked out. Just checked my account and nada.

That’s crazy. iLok has never once interrupted my workflow in 15+ years. Set(up) and forget. I guess some of just get lucky when it comes to copy protection like iLok. Sure, I’d rather not have any major copy protection and instead just use a serial number or license file like u-he, d16, Freakshow Industries, etc., but I can tolerate the stricter copy protection if it means that I can have access to some incredible plugs on my system from companies such as Soundtoys and Eventide (2 of my favorite software devs).

And Klanghelm and Tokyo Dawn Labs and Izotope – all renown companies who get the copy protection aspect right.

Yup, it’s supposed to work offline, as long as you have the Ilok licence manager locally installed and you have activated the licenses once you had internet access (for activation you need to be online).

But if you use Ilok Cloud (where the license gets stored in the virtual cloud), then you need to be permanently online.

Both options are not really viable if your music computer is completely offline.

To conclude:

Ilok license manager local software:

– requires temporary online access once for each license activation
– license is bound to that one computer, if anything crashes, you are at the risk of permanently losing that license

Ilok Cloud

– requires permanent online access (otherwise your licensed plugins will stop working)
– licenses are stored in the cloud,, so they won’t get lost if your machine dies

If you want to keep your music workstation off the internet, you can use option one to activate your licenses once, but then you run the risk of losing your licenses if anything happens. That’s why I rather stay away from “I’m locked plugins”
