I just happen to like some of the EastWest instrument sounds. Bob Bone.I just had to swap out the motherboard from that computer, prior to having a chance to deactivate anything.With the new motherboard installed and the computer back up and running, it shows up twice in detected locations in the iLOK Manager program, once for the now offline old computer(same computer with old motherboard removed) and once for the same computer (with new motherboard installed).It will also not allow me to simply drag my EastWest Composer Cloud Activation down to the new location, because there are no Activations available.
So, what do I do to convince iLOK Manager that I will never again use that old location, and that I want to switch it to the new location IS there a way to accomplish this Bob Bone post edited by robertebone - 20160806 16:24:55. I was up working with my friend on HIS computer, til nearly 3:00 AM, so I got pretty brain dead last night, and am not sure I am awake yet this morning. So, it seems that I could get the NEW Location Activated with the license, but ONLY if I can figure out how to convince the iLOK Manager program that the old location is no longer (EVER) going to be able to be accessed. Ill go grab a new cup of coffee and try your suggestion, Bob Bone. You can run into the same issues by simply disabling your NIC or upgrading a disk drive. These days, I only buy products that are licensed independently of hardware. Fortunately, thats not hard, as most vendors are not so draconian. Delete Ilok Account Software Shouldnt CompoundHaving your motherboard crap out in the middle of a project is headache enough; your software shouldnt compound your misery. End of rant. You should be able to deactivate your old license and re-activate without too much grief. It INSISTS that I access the old Location, and that motherboard is no longer in existence. So, I am stuck with a license that I paid for, with no thus far divined way to move it from a defunct location to its new location (same CPU and Windows installation, just new motherboard). I certainly cant be the first person to have a computer component involved with determination of identity for licensing purposes fail or get upgraded. The problem you are having is exactly why I use an ilok not the computer - I have iloks and a spare and just ZDT both so if anything happens, Im OK - also this system is perfect for me as I work in two different Countries, so I can just take my iLoks with me - no authorization hassles Hope you get it sorted soon my friend Cheers Nigel. I DID fire off an email to the licensing folks, but continued to work the issue anyways, since I am dead in the water without access to the strings I loaded into a project I am racing to finish this weekend. Anyways, after looking it all over, my having as much time this weekend as possible won out, over waiting possibly until Monday or Tuesday for any resolution from the licensing email I sent. Since my EW Composer Cloud subscription is monthly, and due to renew on 0814, I reasoned that if I were to go in and alter the auto-renew option for the current account, I could just buy a new subscription, effective today, and would no longer care about having to deactivate the old Location. Sure enough, although it cost me about one week of subscription overlap, I am now completely back in business, with a new subscription that I have already gotten Activated to this computer, AND the old subscription is going to expire on the 14th and will just fade away. If I continue to have issues Ill just cancel my subscription. I DO have Kontakt 5, so I could always pick up libraries created for that, and would be fine.
