I'm not a big fan of dongle-needing copy protected software, but iLok is kind of the nature of the beast when it comes to quite a few plugins I want to use. You can just use a free account on your computer, and I did for a while, but as your needs change, and as you expand your setup, you may want to bring some of your software on the road or get a more powerful computer to run those VSTs. That's where the iLok really makes sense. I don't have to worry about authorizing my plugins on multiple machines, which isn't even possible with some that only allow one activation at a time like those from Zynaptiq, and even better I don't have to worry about my main machine dying a horrible death and I have to figure out how to recover all of my licenses. The little metal iLok dongle is tiny, fits in a Macbook Air's USB slot and still allows the power cord to be plugged in (something my bulkier USB drives don't allow... pain in the butt, that) and seems pretty tough. I don't love that I had to buy the dongle, but it took seconds to activate and move my license over to... and now that they're there, I simply need to just stick this into the computer I want to use and everything iLok protected is happy as can be.Read full review

It took some back-and-forth with both iLok and the plug-in vendor before I could get this to work under Windows 7 with the Ivory II Grand Piano plug-in. First, I couldn't get the driver or iLok application to install, because of complaints that Win7 needed updating when it didn't. That was solved by installing a particular Win7 update that isn't normally included in the automatic updates. They knew about that problem, so it should have been in the iLok FAQ. Then, it didn't work with the plug-in, because the plug-in actually needed the previous version of the iLok driver. Too bad the latest version isn't backward compatible. But after a few days of struggle, it now works fine.

Simply plug & play. Easy to transfer licenses and you can run Pro Tools without internet connection.

Works well, however the case that covers the end starts to break apart pretty soon and crumble. It's not sturdy enough. Perhaps it was made too thin.
