I was wondering if there was any news on merging older AIR iLok licenses with the newer download manager? I have some products on both systems and would like to have them under one umbrella. I guess it's iLok that could be the main issue here?

Are there plans at all in this area? I seem to remember some mention of it a while back on here.

I suspect that Air Music will invest zero in the "old" plugins (Hybrid 3, Loomer, Vacuum Pro, XPand 2, etc.). The new manager can't even keep the new plugins (e.g., Hype) running.
P.S. Don't use Hype on Windows 11 and FL Studio, or constantly save... the presets/configurations in the project constantly lose their status.

Seems likely. They are however still available to purchase and are registered in the newer software manager. Offering new licenses to ilok users as a replacement might be a solution but there is probably some red tape involving ilok etc.
Technically I could buy them again I suppose but I'm not paying 100+ euros per plugin for something I already have.

I wouldn't care if Hybrid 3, Loom II and Vacuum Pro didn't sound so good. They are the most outdated plugins on my system by far but I can't bring myself to let them go.

Hybrid 3 and the other older versions are in the InMusic software center? Is it just the hype version?

Yep migration needs to happen as soon as possible, it is only Drumsynth now that isn't available via software centre.

Hope you’re doing well! Apologies for the inconvenience.

If you purchased directly from us, registered your product with AIR, or bought through a partner and opted to share your data, your licence should now appear in your inMusic Profile.

If not, no problem — just reach out to our support team, and we’ll be happy to provide new licences for the updated (non-iLok) versions of AIR. We’ll just need a copy of your proof of purchase

We’ve also recently launched the 2025 update for these classic plug-ins, which removes iLok and includes a range of fixes and improvements.

Could you share the actual version numbers of each classic plugin, from which on ilok is removed? e.g. I bought Hybrid 3 via Pluginboutique, it's showing me "v3.0.7.1" as the recent installer for macos.

Or do I have to installer that AIR software manager first?

Thanks for the update. I've got 14 AIR licenses in my iLok account but only have proof of purchase for 4 of those. I bought the rest a long time ago and have no record of where I got them.

Would taking screenshots of my iLok details be enough?

Proof of having them in your ilok would be totally fine

I would recommend updating directly from our website. The latest version is 3.2.0

Thanks, Loom II is very nice on ARM Mac, low CPU, too! Are you planning a v3, e.g. with larger GUI?

Ok thanks again. I've sent support a message.

I don't understand the inMusicSoftwareCenter.
1. I activated and installed Hype. But I have many more things from Air via iLock. In the inMusicSoftwareCenter.
2. I have two Velvet and two Mini Grands, each with "Get iLock"—what does that mean?
3. Next to Hybrid 3 (I have multiple iLock licenses) it says "Deactivated" (but it's running with iLock) and "Update"—what does that mean?
4. Nothing is listed for Xpand 2, Vacuum Pro, Loom, or Riser, even though I have them with iLock.

You need to contact the support and ask for license conversion, but also include the exact plugin names, versions, and your ilok user id, and maybe some additional info. Read here:
