Instructions for licensing a Pro Tools system with iLok Cloud


Launch Pro Tools (if no iLok is plugged in you will get the normal iLok prompt window).

Click “Activate” to get to the next screen (“Quit” will close Pro Tools).

Note that if there is no internet connection on first launch (and there is no iLok connected)

a PACE window saying “No Internet Connection” will appear

Step 2:
Enter credentials for the appropriate iLok Account and hit “Next” 

(“Back” will take you to the previous screen)

Step 3:
There is one final confirmation window asking if you want to open an iLok Cloud Session.

Click “OK” to begin using iLok Cloud.

Checking “Always do this without asking again”

will begin a persistent iLok Cloud Session,

and you will remain logged in until you choose to

“Close Cloud Session” in iLok License Manager.

Step 4:
There is another window showing that the login was successful.

Choose “Next” to close this window.

Step 5:
iLok License Manager shows iLok Cloud under the Local sidebar when a Cloud Session is active.

Any licenses that are Cloud-enabled will now show up in this section (instead of under the normal list) and will be allocated to the active Cloud Session.
