Convert license to iLok

PostWed Mar 01, 2023 1:12 am

Does anyone know if it's possible to convert a software license to iLok? I'm tired of re-authorizing every time I'm at a different client location.

Cheers,
Dane.

Maybe the dongle is the better option?

Unfortunately no. I have tried to change my software activation key to a dongle and I was even okay with paying an upgrade fee to them (BMD) to get the dongle. But the answer was NO!

You really have to buy the Dongle with a full license.. But now the fun starts. The moment you remove the dongle resolve will not start.. Not even in Free mode.. :roll:

Free and Studio are separate installs, so that applies to both Dongle and Activation Code.

No license, no start. ;)
