X plugin and ilok license manager

hello everyone,
to use “X” plugins on quad cortex will i need to install ilok license manager on my windows machine ?

Also in case i want to activate the X plugins also on my daw on pc : once i activated the plugins with ilok license manager, can i uninstall it from pc ?

Thanks

Yes, you will need the iLok license manager software to activate plug-ins, including the ‘X’ versions.

I don’t know exactly what would happen to your plug-ins if you uninstall iLok, but you might have problems opening the plug-ins if you do.

Even if the plugin will only be used on quad cortex?
In this case, if I understand correctly, authentication will be online via your neural account…

and the Neural account uses iLok for licensing/activation. You will need iLok if you don’t already have it.

I realize this is an old thread, but in case anyone (like me) stumbles across this thread wondering whether you need to install the iLok manager software on your computer if you’re just using the plugins on the QC, the answer is no you do not. You need to create an iLok account, then log into your Neural account on the web, click the “My Account” button, and enter your iLok username. You’ll get a confirmation email. Click the link in the email to confirm the linkage, and that’s it. You might have to hit the refresh button on the QC’s plugins screen.
