A A Note About iLok
An iLok account is required for a machine-based (electronic) license to be placed on your computer. You may also place the license on an optional iLok 2 or 3 key. The iLok 1 key is no longer supported.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the age and release date of this hardware, the iLok 1 key is no longer supported by the latest iLok License Manager, Opus software, and Installation Center software. It will result in very slow loading speeds, or the programs not locating the libraries. Please move your licenses either to your computer as a Machine License or to an iLok 2 or 3 key. Simply having the iLok 1 key plugged in to your computer is known to also exhibit this limiting behavior.
B Required Internet Connection
An Internet connection is required for several things:
- The first time download of the EW Installation Center and Opus software
- The first time activation of perpetual licenses
- To use the ‘Auto Update’ feature in Opus
- The renewed activation of subscription licenses (ComposerCloud)
- The download of EastWest Libraries (see below for other options)
Once everything is setup, you will only need a connection once per month so that the license remains active. If you’re not active and the sync doesn’t happen automatically, you will need to deactivate, then reactivate the license using the iLok License Manager.
