How to move a license from iLok Cloud to an iLok dongle

Moving your iLok Cloud-compatible licenses from your Cloud session to a physical iLok dongle can be done using the iLok License Manager.

The process depends on whether your iLok Cloud session is in Automatic or Managed Mode. By default, sessions are set to Automatic Mode. If you're unsure which you're using, please see this article.

Make sure your iLok License Manager is up to date: https://ilok.com/#!license-manager

🔑 Important: Only the All Access Pass, microphone emulations, Fresh Air, and Heatwave licenses support iLok Cloud activation.
All perpetual licenses must either be activated to a physical iLok 2 or 3 USB dongle or directly to your computer (Machine ID).
