Hey guys, so I’m trying to activate the Archetype Nolly free trial. However, it’s saying I need an iLok dongle to activate it. Problem is, I don’t have an iLok dongle, and I’d rather not buy one for a free trial. I’ve attached a screenshot of the issue below: ![help](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/neuraldsp/original/2X/c/cdc6f5016b85dd968fd5ae4d81cbef769b2dcea3.jpeg) Thanks in advance! ---

Please contact [support@neuraldsp.com](mailto:support@neuraldsp.com) about this. There seems to be an issue with your installation of iLok License Manager. You do not need an iLok USB to activate any of our licenses, including trials. ---
