Description

How can we help?

I would like someone else to build the manifest.

Please read and ensure the following
  • The installer meets the above requirements
Please provide the following information

Package Request: iLok License Manager
Publisher: PACE Anti-Piracy, Inc.
Package Name: iLok License Manager
Official Website: https://www.ilok.com
Download Page: https://www.ilok.com/
License: Proprietary / Free to use

Description: iLok is a software licensing system used by over 100 audio software companies to manage software and plugin licenses. The iLok License Manager is the free desktop application used to activate, deactivate, and transfer licenses across devices. It supports three activation methods: iLok USB dongle, iLok Cloud, and machine activation. Required for using many professional audio plugins and DAWs such as Pro Tools, FLUX, SSL, Neural DSP, and more.

System Requirements: Windows 7 or above (64-bit)
Installer Type: EXE (PACE License Support installer)

Why this package should be added:
iLok License Manager is an essential tool for audio producers and music creators. Many professional audio plugins and DAWs require it for license management, but it is currently not available in winget. Users currently have to manually download it from the official website. Adding it to winget would make it much easier for audio professionals to install and keep it up to date.
