iLok Compatibility - iZotope Software Owners Read This Now

All iZotope software except free products supported iLok USB authorization, although computer and cloud licensing are not currently supported. In our macOS Big Sur compatibility research, we came across an announcement from iZotope about iLok licensing with their older products.

There are certain older iZotope products that utilise legacy "Interlok" drivers from iLok that are no longer compatible on macOS 10.14.6 (macOS Mojave) and above, due to recent changes in the latest operating system releases, which means that PACE iLok authorization is no longer supported for some older iZotope products.

Advice From iZotope If You Are On macOS 10.15 Or Higher

If you're on 10.15 and wish to carry any iLok-incompatible licenses with you, iZotope products also support USB authorization to a standard drive. Below are some setup steps for this:

  1. Launch your iZotope Product or insert it on a track in your host recording software.

  2. Enter your serial and your e-mail address as shown on your iZotope account.

  3. Once you’ve done so please click on the advanced arrow.

    • On Mac: this will be to the right of the authorize and cancel buttons.

    • On Windows: this will show as a button to the right of the authorize and cancel buttons.

  4. In the advanced section select Store on disk then select the external USB thumb drive you want to authorize the product to once completed press authorize then submit.

Leave the thumb drive plugged into your machine and this will allow any user who signs in to access the software without having to authorize it to there specific user account.

Other Legacy Software May Be Affected Too

Because there are other legacy products that utilise legacy "Interlok" drivers from iLok, which are no longer compatible on macOS 10.14.6 (macOS Mojave) and above, you may need to review these products too.
