Authorizing the Chrome Tone plug-in
Authorizing with a pre-programmed iLok Smart Key
McDSP bundles such as the Classic Pack come with a pre-
programmed iLok Smart Key. Simply insert the iLok into any
available USB port on your computer. The iLok’s indicator light will
illuminate when the iLok has a proper connection. The plug-ins
included in the bundle require no further authorization steps. As
with any iLok on your system it is recommended that your iLok be
registered and synchronized with iLok.com The Chrome Tone plug-
in requires that a valid authorization is present on your iLok USB
Smart Key. With a boxed copy, this authorization is provided to you
on a plastic License Card (about the size of a credit card), with a
small punch-out iLok License Chip. After being separated from the
License Card, this iLok License Chip is inserted into the ‘key slot’ of
the iLok USB Smart Key in order to transfer the authorization from
the License Card to the iLok USB Smart Key. Note each Chrome
Tone License Card holds ONE Chrome Tone plug-in authorization.
The following instructions detail this process
Important Note: The Authorization Wizard will prompt the user to
register their iLok USB Smart Key at iLok.com. iLok.com is a service
offered by PACE Anti-Piracy, Inc. and this step is NOT REQUIRED by
McDSP to complete the authorization of the Chrome Tone plug-in.
If you choose to register your iLok USB Smart Key at iLok.com, care
must be taken to record your ilok.com account information (i.e.
write down your User ID and Password in a safe place). If your iLok.
com account information is lost, the iLok cannot be registered to
another account and unfortunately there is nothing McDSP can do
to help you. See iLok.com for more details about the benefits of
using PACE’s iLok.com service.
