I cant get mine to register since January and its now April.

Authorization via iLok is very necessary, including cloud and computer and key authorization! I work at different stations and my licenses hang up somewhere for the second time, I have to request to reset authorization, it takes time and I'm paralyzed at work, because instead of working, I listen to a spike every 10 seconds - it's monstrous. Why do I have to think every time I leave the installation station and pick up my iLok - whether I untied this plugin separately from ALL the others or not...

iLok is utter trash! If you go iLok I will have to stop using Clear, which would be very sad as I use it a lot!

only as an option please, I hate iLok and actively avoid all the plugins that use it (even free ones, ’cause using it is a nightmare).

I really dislike iLok licensing! When I upgraded my PC system disk SSD, all of my iLok plugins stopped working. After spending dozens and dozens of hours trying to resolve the issue with PACE/iLok I finally gave up. I will no longer buy/use any plugins that use iLok.

And, BTW, I am a retired software engineer with decades of experience designing and developing complex software.
