yeah, you might want to start bugging the other companies who also use iLok.
they have every right to protect their
intelectual property though, so in theory, I
agree with them using a dongle to defeat the
pirates. And that's coming from a guy who ran
just about everything Waves ever released in a
rather dubious manner for awhile. (grin) But I'm
replacing those with other things as time and funds permit.

The thing is too with that, the last time I
tried getting Avid to do this for me, they told
me that if it was ProTools itself that I needed
licensed, they'd do it, no problem, but since
it's a license for another product than their own, they won't touch it.

Hi Gordon, when you say someone did it for you
remotely, do you mean they remotely controlled
your computer, or did they manage to just do it
for you without remotely controlling your
computer? If the latter, then I may look into
that, otherwise I’ll just wait for a friend to help me.
Thanks.

Hi:
You probably could have someone from avid
support do the authorization for you
remotely. I had gotten my pt11 from sweetwater
and they did it for me in a jiffy. Now that
doesn't let ilok off the hook. I have managed
to stumble through it on windows with a
combination of NVDA and Jaws ocr, but it's
really hit or miss and I'm always afraid I'm going to mess something up.

they're apparently still working on it *sigh*
Luckily for the sighted help, the process is not difficult.
In my case, I recently picked up Eiosis Air EQ and some more things
from Slate Digital. In both cases, you get a license redeem code.
Run the iLok License manager, log in with your iLok account name and
password, and I suggest you have someone click the box to remember
this in future to speed things up.
On the left of the screen are your locations which can accept
licenses. Usually this is the name of your computer and any attached
iLok's which are detected.
On the right-hand side of the screen are all your licenses. Clicking
on a destination on the left may simplify the list on the right for
your sighted help by only showing which licenses are on that attached iLok.
There are four buttons on screen for doing things like redeeming
licenses, copying licenses, etc. You only see text which identifies
what each button does when you hover over them with the mouse. So
don't do what I did and ask your help to look for redeem or activate,
because they won't see that until the mouse is on the buttons.
Find the redeem button and click it, then paste in the long code you
got with your plug-in. Next, a destination dialog pops up and you
simply click on the name of your iLok. That's it.
It irritates me to no end that we can't do this ourselves, since
really, it's nothing more than a copy and paste operation.

Is the Ilok Manager still not
accessible? I've not had a need to try it in
quite some time, but here in the next couple
months, there are some plugins that I really
highly am considerring either purchasing, or
asking for for Christmas. The only thing is,
they use ILok. My mom has very very gladly
agreed to help me get things transferred if
needed, bless her heart, but it really would
be nice if I didn't have to rely on her each
time I need something done. I know we were
working closely with Pace Antipiracy, so was
just wonderring how responsive they're being,
if any. I'm not saying I've totally lost all
hope, as I most certainly haven't. This
however said, I really really think we need to
continue letting them know how crutially
important this is! When PT 11 was first
released, I understand that they had a lot of
things on their plate at that time, as they
needed to be sure that licensing worked in
general with the new PT 11, which I'm sure
behind the scenes took quite some time and
testing. Let's be 100 percent fair. They had
bigger things on them at that time than to
really worry right then about accessibility
issues. I'm not saying that it's an excuse to
totally deny accessible access. Please please
please! don't misread what I am trying here to
say. All I'm saying is, it took a back
seat. And, you know, ok, that's fair. They
did indeed have other things they had to deal
with. I'm very much willing to respect that
fact. Actually, I'm willing to respect it more
than I initially anticipated that I would
be. This said however, we're a fair ways now
into the 11.X cycle. I'm not exactly sure what
the most recent 11 build is, Last I knew, I
think it was like, 11.2, wasn't it? Anyway,
point is, I think they've had some time now to
probably settle a bit down with stuff. Again,
don't misinterpret what I'm trying here to
convey. I'm not saying that accessibility
shouldn't be a priority. It should be! I just
wonder if we're at a stable enough point where
we can start contacting them again to figure
out what is going on, and make sure they've
not forgotten us. I love ProTools, but this
is the one pet peeve that I have which really
irritates me to absolutely no end!
Chris.
