The big "I just want to let everybody know I hate iLok because reasons!"-Topic

[JunSev]

there is a big misconception about the motives of the original post, I don't wanna start a revolution or anything, the people misunderstanding what I'm trying to say should read everything again.
I said I respect the companies and the effort they do creating new content. but this sort of procedures should be removed for ever, there are better options for the people who spend the money on it.

I said that I will not buy any product dependent of this software (Ilok/PACE) anymore, was clear, and I don't wanna influence anyone about what they wanna buy, I just wanted to say how I feel about...

Then i wonder why you post here, and don't bring your concerns towards the company. Noone except users will read this.

And, as you can see with this topic, this is kind of a notorious thing people do here. It's pointless, really.

what is the problem if I wanna say a constructive opinion and many things should be better?
I don't know if you're a troll or you work absolutely for Ilok/PACE, and the same for the people supporting this thing

Ok, looks like we know your real agenda now. "If anyone disagrees with me, he's a shill!". Yeah, right, same attitude like most of the people ranting about iLok here. Again, this is absolutely pointless. Bring your concerns towards the company.

you know where is the problem with your theory? you think that we only have to accept or consent anything imposed to us without even express how we feel, or allow the bad things to happen just like that without do anything...

no I don't think that if you desagree you're a shill,
since you might choose whatever you want, but for me is difficult to think this sort of procedures is ok and someone is supporting this sort of things, because is not.
this really doesn't make any sense if you think about it...

You absolutely hate iLok because it's the devil and it's sh*t and because everybody else hates it, too?
You wan't to let everybody know how much you hate it?
You're thinking about hijacking another topic to turn a constructive discussion into an offtopic-iLok-bash-fest?

HOLD ON!
There's no need for that, as there's now this exclusive topic to channel all your iLok related hate and frustration



(You're welcome )

BTW, welcome to this forum... i know we had a bit of a bumpy start, so, here we go...

this is a very serious issue and something should be done...

Climate change is a very serious issue, this is a "who gives a shit".
Don't like iLok? Don't use it.

...are you kidding me, if there are better procedures we should take the right way to improve everything in our society and lifes, that's how we can change the world for better, and please don't say nobody give a **** since many people doesn't think the same, is obviously proved.

But I am in favour of iLok/eLicencer style dongles. So where does that leave us?
I'm far more concerned with the likes of Google recording my life, and the lack of security by the companies that keep track of my credit worthiness, or lack thereof.
Software authorisation methods are very low on my list of priorities.
As for "the right way" - who decides? You? Me?

BIAS is the word to describe that sort of blind loyalty to a company, I see you might die for licenses like this, you don't believe in freedom and improvement if you don't do anything about it, yeah there are very important things in the life to be concerned of, is right, but still what is the problem if I just wanna say what I think about this stuff which is not ok?

[JunSev]

believe me, with your mentality we going to be slaves in near future, very sad...

Lucky you. AIR didn't inform that their plugins are iLok-infected and I always check many times before I buys something.

This is exactly how I ended up with an iLok plug. Had wanted Loom for ages and picked it up in a sale. Plugin Boutique's website said the protection was C/R.

I'd have returned it were it not for the fact that AIR will give you another license if your computer dies, because your license dies with it. Hell, I've read about people losing licenses due to big Windows Updates (i.e. Creators Update, Anniversary Update). We've got the Fall Creators Update coming soon. Each update has seen me frantically deactivate my licenses and manually install before Windows has the chance to do it automatically.

The long and short, software iLok is unfit for purpose. It simply astonishes me that nobody over at iLok noticed software licenses die when Windows updates are applied. They were available for 6 months as preview versions. Did they notice and simply not care? I mean, they certainly don't care about your computer dying - every other C/R plug will reauthorise just fine in these circumstances. Some of my Sonic Charge plugs are up to 5 or 6 reauths.

I have never read or heard of this happening. I have tons of iLok licenses on two different iLok keys (1 and 2) never had a problem.

Talking about software iLok here where your license is stored on the hard drive. You can't back it up, you can't store it in the cloud...
