PACE Anti-Piracy, the makers of iLok, has today announced full Native Apple Silicon support. We have the details.

They say in their press release;

“After hard work and rigorous testing, iLok copy protection tools are now fully Apple Silicon compatible. The latest license support software update now includes full M1 support, along with existing support for Intel-based Mac OS systems. This release enables plug-in makers and publishers to update their products that have native M1 support with full license protection.”

Allen Cronce CEO of PACE Anti-Piracy said of the release;

“We knew our publishers were keen on taking advantage of M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max devices. This was a top priority for our engineering team - and it was a big job. We are happy about this release.”

“In addition, if you are using iLok License Manager version 5.5 or newer, you can now request a machine activation reset from within iLok License Manager. The publisher will still need to approve the request.”

iLok is part of the PACE Anti-Piracy licensing platform which enables publishers to distribute their licenses securely via cloud, machine, or iLok hardware. Secure license distribution also requires different layers of protection, including a high-security tamper-protection solution called Fusion. The work surrounding Fusion was very complex and required significant changes at the OS Level.
