Authorizing MachineControl Using
a License Card
License Cards are specific to each plug-in or soft-
ware option. You will receive the appropriate Li-
cense Cards for the plug-ins or software options
that you purchase. License Cards have a small
punch-out plastic chip called a GSM cutout.
The authorization steps in this section must be
repeated for purchased plug-in or software op-
tion.
To authorize MachineControl using a License
Card:
1 Insert the iLok into an available USB port on
your computer.
2 Launch Pro Tools. You will be prompted to au-
thorize any installed unauthorized plug-ins or
software options.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions until you
are prompted to insert the License Card into the
iLok.
4 Separate the GSM cutout from the larger pro-
tective card by pulling it up and out with your
thumb. Do not force the cutout down with your
finger.
5 Insert the GSM cutout into the iLok. Visually
verify that the metal portion of the cutout
makes contact with the iLok’s metal card reader.
6 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete
the authorization process for each plug-in.
7 After the authorization has completed, re-
move the GSM cutout from the iLok. (If you
have to remove the iLok from the computer to
remove the cutout, be sure to re-insert the iLok
in any available USB port on your computer
when you are finished.)
For additional information about iLok tech-
nology and authorizations, see the elec-
tronic PDF of the iLok Usage Guide.
If you are already using a demo version of
the plug-in or software option, launch
Pro Tools before you insert the iLok, then
insert the iLok into any available USB port
when prompted by Pro Tools.
