just sayin'.
but, i do really love the iLok concept. I'm a big fan. I just think the physical keys are absolute pieces of crap. I mean, the design and manufacturing on them is a total joke. |
I'm not going to argue with you regards to what they're made of. But my point with treating it like a Vintage U47 is was directed to those who say it sucks because you can lose it. However, if you have $6k worth of licenses on that iLok, you shouldn't be treating it like a piece of crap plastic. Meaning, you should know where that iLok is every second so you don't lose it. Sure the things going to break if you have it connected to a laptop or somewhere where someone can easily kick it. But if it breaks, you send it to iLok, they replace it with a new one and your licenses and you're good to go. Sure there will be downtime, but there's downtime if a computer goes down. Or the tube on a mic goes out, or... you know what I mean. In any case, I love the iLok and appreciate the fact that I can take it and all my iLoked plugins anywhere I go.
