I'm guessing so that people don't just download the plugin and post it on blogs and shit for others to grab. By having it through ilok they're more in control of how many have been downloaded. Could be for any reason, like they want to see what the response is to these offers or if they should go further with more plugins of this sort, how many people are actually USING iloks, etc ... I'd say more than half of the reason is strictly marketing
Man, none of the SoundToys plugs work for me. Pretty sure it has something to do with the iLok driver. It'll yell at me for not having it installed, but once it is installed it just hangs and crashes. Pretty weird because my Slate plugins work just fine.

I downloaded a demo of Decapitator like 2 days ago because I hear so much rave about it. Install goes successfully, yet it will not appear in my VST list in Reaper. It installed something called PACE.....but I didn't have to fill anything out with my info.
You need an ilok1 or ilok2 usb dongle attached to your computer to make it work. No ilok, no soundtoys.

says right on their page:
"Requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later, Windows XP/Vista/7 (Pro Tools users see Avid system requirements) and have an open USB port for an iLok hardware key."

Well, ilok's great time is already over. Waves dropped it. Brainworx/Plugin Alliances dropped it. Soundtoys has not announced anything if they'll use ilok2 for 64 bit or not.
You'll still need it for Slate & Lexicon in the future...
If you want an ilok2 you might take a look at Slate Digital RC-Tube plugin offer...

My only problem with the Software Alliance thing is is you have a previous version of one of the 32 bit plugins bought prior to May 2011 you need to pay a $20 per plugin fee (or $50 one time fee for all your plugins) to upgrade to the new licensing system if you want X64 bit capability. You can go on using your iLok for the 32 bit versions, but you are out of luck for future updates. Seems just as much of a money grab as having to have a one time cost hit by requiring the purchase of an iLok. Perhaps it's just me, but seems like just another mechanism to get more money from existing customers. change licensing mechanism, charge them to use the new mechanism if they ever want updates (a mechanism which by the way limits them to authorizations on 3 machines where as iLok you could just take and pop in any system and your license traveled with you).
Every system has it's flaws.
Per their FAQ:

they're probably going to charge for it when it is officially released. makes perfect sense.
here's a clip of it in action making drums sound like shit.

Works find in REAPER, cleared cache and re-scanned plugin directory after downloading license to ilok.

quirky thing in Logic, had to open in 32 bit mode to get it to recognize the plug then re-open in 64 bit. Yay for free stuff
