What is the copy protection scheme for plug-ins on Pro Tools|HD systems?
The new iLok USB dongle is now used and one is included with all Pro Tools|HD systems (PID# ends in -600 or last
four digits of the second line ends in 9966). They contain preauthorized demo authorizations for certain plug-ins
that are included in the HDpack bundles.
All non-DigiRack Digidesign plug-ins require iLok authorizations for Pro Tools|HD systems running Pro Tools 6.0 and
higher software on OS X. Pro Tools 5.3/5.3.1 on OS 9 can use iLok or floppy authorizations for most Digidesign plug-
ins with the exception of Reverb One, Bruno/Reso, DINR, and Virus, which require iLok authorization.

What is a License Card?
A License Card is used to authorize an iLok for any number of plug-ins. It looks like a credit card with a small
breakaway section that is broken out of the card and can be slid into the slot at the end of the iLok USB key. This
will install an authorization for the appropriate plug-in(s).

Is there a way to combine authorizations onto a single iLok to free up a USB port?
There is currently no way to merge authorizations that may reside on multiple iLoks. However, once registered at
www.ilok.com you can view what each iLok is authorized for. A powered USB hub may be used to run multiple iLoks
if you do not have available USB ports on your system.
