Avid S3L iLok
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.
- Internal iLok
To manage an internally installed iLok, it is possible to install the PACE [iLok License Manager](https://www.ilok.com/#!license-manager) on the Windows desktop of the S3L so that the licenses can be managed without removing the iLok.
The S3L is old enough that the latest versions of the License Manger unfortunately will not work. The last known working version is 3.1.7.1901.
Below is a table of tested License Manager versions, and whether they work with the S3L.
| Version | Works? | Info / MD5 | | ------------------------- | --------- | --- | | 5.0.0 | No | The PACE driver is too new. | | [3.1.7.1901][v3_1_7] (\*) | Yes | 83803f7f5dd233a9c7198526c7b5675d | | [2.4.8][v2_4_8] | No | The PACE driver is too old. |
[v3_1_7]: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t6-YiwzNjuAINI0eulejUSwb7Jsoyk6G/view?usp=sharing [v2_4_8]: https://installers.ilok.com/iloklicensemanager/legacy/2_4/LicenseSupportInstallerWin64_v2_4_8_r37293.zip
- (\*)** A direct link to the 3.1.7.1901 installer is no longer available from https://www.ilok.com/#!resource/legacy, so I've uploaded a copy that I have to Google Drive and provided the MD5 sum of the file. If you are able to find an official copy of the installer, please use that instead and kindly send me a link so I can update the link.
_(If you work for iLok, could you provide an official link to the 3.1.7.1901 version as it is the last one that worked with the S3L with the updated PACE driver provided by Avid.)_
- Notes
If the License Manager crashes when signing in, connect a second iLok that was recently synced with the iLok servers to another USB port. Try running the License Manager and signing in again, with both iLok dongles attached. This seems to mitigate (but not fix) the crashing issue.
