OK, just a few more details about the recording: As I mentioned, I'll be re-recording another version which will ultimately be posted on iLok.com/accessibility which is not up yet. Pace didn't have time to get the page ready in time for the release which was clearly the priority.
I had indicated that the one area that still wasn't completely accessible was in the transfer process where a few pop-up buttons for credit card month and year plus the country and state were not working. I was mistaken. Rather than trying to click on those buttons to pop them open, you simply need to use the up and down arrows to navigate the lists. As I had indicated, in certain instances, it makes sense to just use keyboard shortcuts, Tab and the arrow keys to accomplish most tasks rather than to rely on the screen reader's navigation controls. There are a few minor details in the recording where I used, say, "transfer" rather than "move" when talking about moving licenses to an iLok key. I also indicated that, if one wanted to hide a license they could but it sounded as if you could hide them while they're on an iLok but that's not the case. You can only hide licenses from the account view. These are minor details but I want to make sure they're corrected for the version that'll eventually be posted to the iLok web site. A word about the Windows version (and it might be helpful if someone could cross-post this to MIDI-Mag or wherever the users hang out these days): Pace migrated the code for the iLok License Manager from QT4 to QT5, largely driven by the issue of accessibility. It was a means to eventually support accessibility on both platforms simultaneously. Initially, in the previous version, the Windows side had some minor accessibility in the Activation Experience Wizard which is a separate program that comes up within a host DAW when there's a missing license. When the migration to QT was underway, it was considerably more complex than they had originally anticipated. At a certain point, they had to make a choice to focus on the Mac. The hope was that Windows would largely benefit from the cross-platform work being done. Kevin Reeves and Scott Chesworth gave the beta a try and indicated that there was still much to be desired on the Windows side. Pace is fully aware of this and is committed to making sure the Windows version catches up to where the Mac version is in terms of accessibility. For what it's worth, the ILM is best navigated with built-in keyboard shortcuts, the Tab key and the arrow keys. There are very few instances where it's beneficial to use VoiceOver-specific navigation commands. If anybody's trying the Windows version, I'd keep that in mind. Perhaps it's at least somewhat useable. I'd recommend reading the manual, of course and give it a go and be patient as it will definitely improve. OK, back to the Mac, be aware that, if you launch Pro Tools and have an Avid plug-in missing, depending on the plug-in, you might get a dialog asking whether you want to rent or buy the missing plug-in. I'm pretty sure that this will throw you into the Avid Marketplace which is not yet accessible. I'd recommend doing all of your iLok business with the iLok License Manager first and then launch Pro Tools.
