How To Move a License from your Computer (Machine-ID) to iLok Cloud

Moving your licenses from your computer (Machine ID) to an iLok Cloud session can be done using the iLok License Manager.

This 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
