Lifesaver! This whole eco-system of licenses is so outdated.

Thanks Josh, I didn’t know about this process. Great tips!

Ah, hero - I had to update ilok first for the report unusable feature to appear, but it did the job!

Thanks for sharing these tips Josh. Unfortunately I fall in the camp of having a computer suddenly die on me – in the middle of a project no less! MacPro 2013 trash can was 10 years old and I was due for an upgrade anyway... fortunately everything was backed up, but it gave me no chance to deactivate all my licenses (iLok or otherwise) and no chance to say a proper goodbye haha. Now with a new machine I have to start the fun process of re-installing everything. On the plus side, that's always an opportunity for spring cleaning (no need to install old plugins I never use anyway). But yeah, this iLok thing can be a pain transferring over in cases like this. I appreciate your advice, fingers crossed it will go over well. Cheers!

Same just happened to me and I could cry. Hundreds of dollars worth of plugins. I've sent the reset request, but I don't understand how they can then be moved to my new PC? I dont have the iLOK activation codes for many of them to redeem? Obviously there are no licences on my new PC, will they appear there or do I need the activation keys? Same error as you mentioned. If i try to activate anything it says 3 of 3 here!

Just subscribed. I need to reset my Mac to factory settings. I have an ilok with protools. After resetting the Mac can I plug in the ilok and use protools again.?

Hi I reinstalled windows with the same data but idk why after this it appears like I'm in another machine using ilok when it always have been the same so I got this issue, this is the first time it happens to me so ones I reported I just wait till they give me my license back? Right? So for now I'm not gonna be able to use any product? How much I should wait mostly?

whats stupid is I had to just do this. My motherboard died, I just replaced it, I have two pc's named the exact same thing now but one I had to use this process on, while wildly enough all my neural plugins swapped right over without an issue.

What do you do if "Report as Unusable" isn't an option for you to select in iLok Manager?

Why I can't save this video to a personal playlist?

Are you following the Holy Spirit or what?!

I was just in a 13 hr session yesterday at a studio I partner with while my new building is being completed, and when plugging in my iLok usb I realized I had assigned licenses to the computer I just sold to an engineer friend of mine who is out of town for a while. This is so timely I thought Google was listening to my convos and serving this from the depths of your playlist. I was about to jettison all of its "always on" technology. #Greatsubscription
