Oh, ok, so what ever computer has the ilock, be it my main pc desktop or my laptop, it will run protools.you can install it on as many computers as you want....but it will only start up and run on a computer that has a registered iLok with a PT license on it. If you have your iLok in your main DAW, then decide you want to do some on location recording with your laptop, you will have to remove the iLok from the DAW and put it in your laptop to make PT open on the laptop. While the iLok is in your laptop, you will be unable to access PT on the DAW.
I always thought with mboxes/digi002/003 you didn't need the ilok to run. Just needed the hardware connected. In fact, I'm doing that right as we speak with my mbox 2 pro!
I have a Delta 1010 and I need the iLok....
