But it's ok, it's something for free
I do not have an iLok neither really know how to get one/what it is (can you use a random USB key?). Bottom line; you need an iLok for the plugin.
Yes, you don't need an iLok to use this but you have to install iLok manager, and there you can choose whether
to activate the license on your iLok or your computer. Pretty awesome freebie indeed.
