How do I transfer my EAST WEST sound library license from my laptop to my macmini?

To transfer your EAST WEST sound library license, first ensure you have the iLok License Manager installed on both your laptop and Mac Mini. Log in to your iLok account on your laptop, locate the EAST WEST license, and use the "Transfer" function to move it to your iLok USB smart key or directly to your Mac Mini, if applicable. Then, open the iLok License Manager on your Mac Mini to retrieve the license. Ensure both devices are connected to the internet during the process.

Ican't find a license for Steven Slate VSX that I had.

If you can't find your Steven Slate VSX license, it may be because the license has not been sent or activated yet. Make sure you've completed the necessary purchase process and you have received an email notification mentioning the transfer of the license to your iLok account. Sometimes, it might take a while. If it's not there, check in your 'Hidden' licenses in the iLok License Manager. Keep in mind that licenses can only be seen in the iLok License Manager, not on the iLok website. If you're still having trouble, check if you're logged into the correct iLok account where the license was transferred. You can also reach out to the manufacturer, Steven Slate, for further assistance.

I cannot enter my activation code for my EastWest ComposerCloud license

If you are having trouble entering your activation code for your EastWest ComposerCloud license, ensure you've logged into iLok License Manager. Once logged in, click on the 'Licenses' menu and select 'Redeem Activation Code'. Input your activation code in the provided field and follow the prompts. Remember that the codes are case-sensitive and should be entered exactly as given. If you still experience difficulties, it could mean the code has already been used or is not correct. Please double-check the details and try again.

I can not authorize plug in that I purchased to my ilok

To authorize a plugin you've purchased to your iLok, you'll first need to ensure that you have the iLok License Manager software installed on your computer. The software will provide a user-friendly interface for managing your licenses. Once you have this set up, you should receive a license key or an activation code from the company you bought the plugin from. Open the iLok License Manager, sign in to your iLok account, click on "Licenses" then "Redeem Activation Code". Input the code and the license should be deposited in your account. From there, you can drag and drop the license onto your iLok. Refresh your plugin list in your DAW, and your plugin should be authorized.

I want to know if I can buy a second ilok and put all licenses on it. Then use both iloks on two different computers

Yes, you can use two different iLoks on two different computers. Once you purchase your second iLok, you can transfer licenses to it from your original iLok. You would do this through the iLok License Manager software. However, remember that each license can only be active on one iLok at a time. Therefore, if you want to use the same software on two machines simultaneously, you would need two licenses. So, any software that you want to use on both computers would require separate licenses for each iLok.
