"I'm iLok-free and always will be, Baby!"...
In my experience, for every iLok-shackled product I had interest in, there's always an alternative product. Typically, from a developer who respects and treats their users fairly enough, not to impose such a burdensome penalty upon their paying customers.
I have even politely refused an offer from a developer who offered me a free NFR licence for their iLok product, in exchange for installing iLok and reporting back any issues experienced, after I had reached out to them to request an iLok-less version of their flagship plugin which I had wanted (offering to pay them many times the RRP). However, I had to reiterate to them my distaste for that particular form of DRM and installing it on my new device would defeat the entire purpose of my intention.
I've had bad experiences using iLok on my previous device and I've heard much worse accounts from others, to never want to put myself in that unnecessary position.
Every plugin I own is a non-iLok product and so shall it remain.![:D]( "Very Happy")
I have a dongle, and if I want the plugin enough it's a necessary evil. But it does take much of the wind out of whatever good vibe the developer has.
