When I ran iLok License Manager this morning I was greeted with this message. Would I like to download the new version? I wasn't in the middle of a big job, and seeing reference to the iLok Cloud Support, as well as wanting to see what happened so I could report it to the community, I clicked on the Download Update option.

What Is In iLok License Manager 4.0.0?

The notes in the update window say...

iLok Cloud Support - This feature requires publishers to incorporate cloud support and release updated software and licenses

New sorting for Locations (Cloud, computer, iLoks)

Publisher License ID field available in the column view and License Details

New firmware for Second and Third generation iLoks (synchronize to update the firmware)

Release Date Limit (RDL) supported in licenses

Fixed crash if you select some View menu options when you are not signed in

Fixed crash if multiple surrender update deliveries as well as some licenses are selected and activated

What Now?

Once I had downloaded the installer, unzipped it and installed iLok License Manager 4.0.0, I ran the new version and all seemed well at first...
