iLok License Manager

Software developers and publishers often employ different methods of preventing their programs from being pirated. These can be anything from a basic license agreement or a watermark added to a program’s interface, to limiting the features of an application (if it has been tampered with) or offering unique product activation keys.

However, there will be situations when companies will also use third-party applications which are called license managers and can offer increased protection against theft and piracy. One such program is iLok License Manager.

You will most likely come across iLok License Manager during the installation process of another programs. Remember that this is an anti-piracy measure, so you most likely won’t be able to use the program that you want unless you also install iLok License Manager.

To use this application, you will need to create an account on the application’s website. Afterwards, you will be able to activate and manage your licenses directly from the program’s interface. You can navigate through different tabs to see which licenses are available, unavailable or hidden. Keep in mind that this license manager was designed to be used with iLok, a special USB device that you can use to hold and protect your licenses.
