one of the worst decisions I have ever made was moving my licenses to ilok. Ilok/pace is a none friendly method of stopping piracy. I know there is a need for it but there are better ways. Even steinberg's way is better than this. Just accessing ilok's web site and synchronizing with the dongle is an adventure at the very least (this problem has been going on for years).Turn off fire wall,disable UAC, be the administrator, activeX component download,firefox doesn't work (too new version)??? what did I miss? I am know computer expert but I have enough legal software installed on my system that has given me experience to know the difference between good and bad implementation. A real turn off for a potential customer is the Ilok system. Ok I am done complaining. just one question: Is it possible to switch back to the download system? thanks

We don't using the ilok system. Simply download the non ilok version from your account at our user area.
