iLok Software Security System
iLok is a software security and license management system used by numerous software publishers in the audio production software industry. Software publishers use the iLok system for secure protection and customer license management of their software.
The software licenses can be authorized to a single computer, in which case the software has to be run on that actual computer in order to function, or they can be stored on an iLok key making the licenses portable, which is extremely convenient for freelance audio engineers and producers.
