The Avid S3L has multiple USB slots, including an internal slot specifically designed to hold the supplied iLok USB dongle for licenses. (See the [S3L System Guide](http://akmedia.digidesign.com/support/docs/S3L_System_Guide_80099.pdf) (PDF) for more information.

To manage an internally installed iLok, it used to be possible to install the PACE [iLok License Manager](https://www.ilok.com/#!license-manager) on the Windows desktop so that the licenses can be managed without removing the iLok. Unfortunately this is no longer possible.

Today, The S3L is old enough that the latest versions of the License Manger will not work, and the versions that used to work crash and won't sign in anymore. C'est la vie.

Below is a table of tested License Manager versions, and whether they [used to] work with the S3L.

| Version | Works? | URL | | -----------| --------- | --- | | 5.0.0 | No | | | 3.1.7.1901 | Yes | | | 2.4.8 | | https://installers.ilok.com/iloklicensemanager/legacy/2_4/LicenseSupportInstallerWin64_v2_4_8_r37293.zip |
