I think what people are failing to understand here is, and if I'm wrong about this, I'm sorry, is that this isn't just a ProTools issue. This is an issue with companies in general who use the ILok licensing scheme. I'm not totally sure how to make that any clearer.--- Christopher GillandPhone: 704-594-2225 E-mail: clgillan...@gmail.com Web site: http://www.clgproductions.com Twitter: @gilland_chris Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/chris28210 Skype: chris28210 IMessage/Facetime: cgwaxhawlo...@clgproductions.com Zello: clgproductions and: christablet123 Please kindly, add both, if you don't mind.----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Gawronski" <n...@nickgawronski.com>To: <ptaccess@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2014 6:26 PM Subject: Re: Where are we as far as the ILok Manager? Hi, Remember that some dealers sell pro tools with the ilok license on it already so no need to transfer things this is what I did with pro tools 10 so before you buy from a dealer you might want to see if they can do the transfer for you if you explain the issues or just buy the bundle.

These sighted people do have their uses sometimes. A bit of a pain though. I often think that one of the reasons companies are slow or uninterested to make things accessible might be because they are not aware of how many people the issue actually affects. It's almost as if we should be using mailing lists like this to send a joint email to the companies. Or a petition. Nothing too heavy handed, just to make our voices heard. Power in numbers, and all that.Sent from my iPhoneOn 26 Nov 2014, at 20:54, "Gordon Kent" <dbmu...@cybernex.net> wrote:They actually controled my computer.

If the latter, then I may look into that, otherwise I̢۪ll just wait for a frifriend to help me.Thanks.On 26 Nov 2014, at 07:28, Gordon Kent <dbmu...@cybernex.net> wrote: 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.Gord -----Original Message----- From: Chris Smart Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2014 11:10 AM To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Where are we as far as the ILok Manager? 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 andpassword, 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 acceptlicenses. Usually this is the name of your computer and any attachediLok's which are detected.On the right-hand side of the screen are all your licenses. Clickingon a destination on the left may simplify the list on the right foryour 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. Sodon'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 yougot 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.

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. --You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
