Avid PACE iLok 3 USB-C Smart Key

The iLok 3 is Avid’s latest licence key for software and plugin authorisation, in a USB-C version. It stores up to 1,500 licences (about three times more than the iLok 2) and offers roughly twice the transfer speed. The housing is compact (about 1.5 × 0.5 inches) with a full metal aluminium body and a strong security loop. You manage licences with iLok License Manager (drag-and-drop); a blue LED indicates when the key is connected. It works with all iLok 2–compatible software, and licences stay valid across hardware upgrades and system changes. No licences or software are included; you need a free iLok account and iLok-protected products. Compatible with Mac OS X 10.7+ and Windows 7+.
