Do I need a special version of Max to use an iLok? You can purchase an iLok from directly or from a number of retailers. The iLok is cross-platform, and in fact, your iLok need only be set up once to authorize both the Mac and PC versions of Max. So, if you use other software besides Max you may be able to use an iLok to hold authorizations for a lot of your software.

The iLok is supported by a number of audio software companies including Digidesign and Waves. Since it is portable, you can move it from one computer to another without the need to authorize each individual computer you use. The iLok USB Hardware Key is a device that holds authorization keys and connects via the USB port to your computer.

While this increases flexibility, there are some important things to know if you are considering this option. Cycling '74 offers iLok USB authorization as a portable licensing option for users that want or need to move their Max license between multiple machines.
