Title: ilok licence transfer
Post by: cenobite_supper on March 16, 2010, 06:07:54 pm
i finally got my licence which im very happy with (thankyou)

however, now i want to get it on an ilok asap so i can eliminate the problem of having to ask for another licence next time my computer dies on me
i got an ilok with my mbox 2 factory bundle  but on the elicencer control center, when i enter my activation code, i cant see the ilok to transfer my licence to

is it the wrong type of ilok? if so, i will buy the proper type but if it should work, why arent i seeing anything?

cheers

Yo,
Arturia does *not* use the PACE iLok protection system, but the eLicenser one.
Theses systems are designed by 2 different companies, therefore totally incompatible, even if the final shape is similar (an USB dongle).
The Knowledge Base (http://www.arturia.com/evolution/kb/?CategoryID=31) tries to explain this, as the (rather outdated) specific page (http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/support/syncrosoft.html) on our website.
The Steinberg website also contains some information on this protection, particularly here (https://www.steinberg.net/en/support/knowledgebase_new/free_articles/kb_show/usb-elicenser-details-tips-and-troubleshooting/kb_back/2020.html) and there (https://www.steinberg.net/en/support/knowledgebase_new/free_articles/kb_show/soft-elicenser-sel-faq/kb_back/2020.html). Warning: these links are forwarded for general information purpose only.
Hope this will solve all your interrogations.
