The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.


iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration


iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home


iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.


iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.


iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).


Take control of the warmth, detail and nuance of one of the most popular American-made acoustic guitars of all time

American Acoustic is the latest audiophile-grade SampleTank 3 instruments collection. IK searched high and low to track down an exceptionally great sounding vintage Martin D28 with its famous spruce top and mahogany neck. It's hard to find a bad sounding guitar of this model, but we wanted the very best one we could get. They then recorded the guitar in our IK studios in Modena, Italy using the best microphones, preamps, and converters available for the project.
IK tried many vintage and classic mics and preamps, but the best result came from a super-clean modern pairing of a Schoeps CMC small diaphragm condenser microphone and a Prism Orpheus preamp/interface.


IK Multimedia recorded the instrument many times using different techniques to find just the right approach. The actual notes themselves had to be performed in a very specific way that when translated to the keyboard or in MIDI patterns still sounded like an amazing acoustic guitar played by a great guitarist. They always kept the top priority of making a true "musical" instrument and not just a perfect recording. The result is a spectacularly natural sounding instrument made for music.


American Acoustic is a comprehensive library of acoustic guitar sounds, with a huge selection of instruments that cover every method of playing from flatpicking, fingerstyle, strumming and beyond. You can even add additional effects like slides and harmonics.


American Acoustic also includes a generous selection of patterns using different articulations including strumming techniques. Combine this versatility with its number of ensemble and experimental combo instruments, and you have an instrument that's a perfect fit for Pop, Rock, Folk, Country, Hip-Hop, R&B, and even EDM. Now, no matter what genre you favor, you can have great sounding acoustic guitars at the touch of a button. American Acoustic.
