Honestly what a pile of crap. I just got little microshift and it's authorised on my iLok account on the website, but will not transfer to the license manager on the PC.

Soundtoys are a strange company , you have an account one minute, then you don't.

Anyway, anyone else having issues authorising this ?

Nope never had issue with ilok or vendor using their product. Personally I prefer ilok to most other security methods

Never had an issue here either. I recall I found the process slightly confusing at first, but everything has worked fine since then.

No, never a problem...

Must be very complicated to drag a license from one place to another with the mouse...

I wish all my plugins were on iLok...

Are you sure you've got it assigned to the right iLok account? Because from here it sounds like you assigned the licence to one iLok account but are signing into the iLok manager on a different one.

never had an issue with ilok and i agree i wish all my protection schemes used the ilok... much simpler imo

The software (machine-based) iLok system has worked flawlessly for me. I’ve never owned a dongle.

Sorry to hear. I own multiple plugins from soundtoys. All authorized and work perfectly fine.

Drag from where to where, smartarse? It's not showing in the manager at all, yet its In the account

That's what I wondered, but there are 2 other plugins licensed on the same account, and another problem is there are a out 9 others on the license manager and not on my iLok account, so confusing.

when you say account do you mean sound toys account or ilk account, if its in the sound toys account you should have a serial number that you enter into ilk then it downloads the license to where you desire. to add the serial its a button with 3x dots in the top right of the ilk app


EDIT: also go to your account on sound toys and go to

My Account>
View All Individually Licensed Product Installers>
then look at the ilk name its registered too and cross reference it to the ilk sign in on the app

then you may have to click the license if you see it and activate it (right click) to where you want eg dongle or disk
