Havent done much in Pro Tools yet but have probably opted for the Cloud only licensing because when I start pro Tools without an iLok connected it checks the Cloud and Pro Tools starts working. And this is indeed on a Wifi connection only. Perhaps it checks the Cloud now because there’s no iLok found, this I don’t know. I only have Pro Tools installed at the moment FYI.
