PRESS RELEASE – 3^rd Generation iLok Announced

For Immediate Release

October 27th 2016, San Jose, California.

PACE Anti-Piracy have today announced the 3^rd generation iLok (iLok3) offering a smaller, faster device holding three times the number of licenses. Recent advances in chip design and manufacturing processes have enabled the evolution of the new iLok version, which is much smaller and more robust than its predecessors.

The new iLok is fully backward compatible with previous versions – so all software developed for use with a 2^nd generation iLok will continue to work with a 3^rd generation iLok.

Since its release 16 years ago, the iLok hardware device has never been compromised.

The design of the 3^rd generation iLok is a huge step up from previous versions. The internal components are ingeniously small, packed into their metal case using methods that make duplication virtually impossible. And fewer components means fewer points of failure once the device is being used in the field.

“Many people asked for the iLok to be smaller; now it is. The metal design and larger security loop should make it easier for the iLok to become your favorite item on your keychain or necklace. Along with our Eden Fusion technology, the 3^rd generation iLok provides a publisher with the most secure tools in the industry. Period.”
