Activation Locations

Choose the license locations best suited for your user base. You can permit your end users to store their licenses in any combination of authorized storage locations.

Host Computer

Allows activation to a computer with no requirements for extra hardware or Internet connection.
iLok USB

iLok USB

Our hardware is secure, convenient, and portable. Users who operate from several workstations find the portability a necessity. 

iLok Cloud

With a constant Internet connection, our cloud solution allows secure flexibility without a hardware requirement.
iLok Cloud
Licensing with the iLok Cloud is simple and convenient. Many users prefer not to need licensing hardware. 

iLok Cloud Licensing

We give the end user the option to activate to the iLok Cloud or the iLok USB. The iLok Cloud was designed to stay out of the way of the launch experience, meaning if a Cloud Session is open and the license is valid, the product will launch without asking the end user for any credentials.
