Slau,
Thank you for your help. That's pretty much what i suspected for the
answer, but I definitely do appreciate your confirmation on the matter.
Have a wonderful rest of your day.
Chris.

There are 3 main variables to iLok licensing as it relates to location
and they are determined by the developer. It's up to the developer to
determine whether a license can be activated to an iLok, a computer
and the cloud. Some developers allow all three while some only allow
one or two. The third generation iLok can store at least 512 licenses
if not more. I'd imagine there's no theoretical maximum for computer
activation slots. One disadvantage with computer activation is that
you have to remove all license activations if you're formatting the
drive. Apart from that, portability is a big factor for some users.
HTH,

For reasons which go beyond the scope of this e-mail, and would get
way too long-winded for me to attempt explaining, I won't bore you
with why I ask this question. I know typically, this isn't something
most people probably would do, all be it the option's there, but I
have to ask at least this much...
I know that 1 iLok costs around $50USD. Obviously, I already have one
which I'm using with ProTools, as well as some plugins which require
it. I see however that when activating a plugin through the iLok
manager, I either can put the asset on my physical iLok USB dongle,
or I can actually put it locally on my mac itself.
I guess my main question is, like there is on an iLok dongle, is
there a limit on how many assets will fit if I was to store them
instead on my mac? Also, having this option, does that mean that
technically speaking, as long as I don't plan to move around from one
system to another, I could theoreticly store the asset there instead
of on my actual dongle itself? Finally, what would be the
disadvantages aside the obvious of no portability from one system to
another of having it stored locally on my mac instead of the key itself?
Chris.
