iLok – Registration/sign up
New registration
「iLok」allows you to organize different software registrations,
and is used to help prevent illegal reproduction of a software.
Plug the iLok into the USB port to use it, and open various softwares.
Because it uses little power, it can be used with a USB hub as well.
Some softwares require this「iLok」, and because the licensing process has changed, we will take a look at how to do this.
