What I have noticed: Some companies have implemented some kind of iLok authorization "help" that is online and IMHO it is not of help at all (UAD is a very bad example)! But in most cases you can avoid that this code performs by doing the iLok authorization first with the iLok manager (either on a dongle or on the machine), i.e. before you scan the plugin.

Pretty sure I downloaded the iLok license first, I always do. That's why I was surprised with the additional steps for some online authorizing. From memory, it was like opening some website, copying a code, going to another website pasting it. Weird.

By the way, sometimes there are issues with other authorization types, too. E.g. since United Plugins use the Melda authorization code (by the way both use a good file authorization), I had several times the DAW process hanging. I think it has some dependence on the windows and popups coming up, i.e. when I was not patient enough (oh, it took sooo long), it hijacked the process. 😒

Never happened to me. That would be bad news, their method is best ever (if not counting Kazrog), simple serial! Maybe it's worth reporting the issue.

Strange, that never happened to me for Sonnox plugins neither in offline nor in online usage.
