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).

The Spatial Audio Designer (SAD) is the market's leading audio plug-in for creating and monitoring next-generation immersive audio.

  • Producer Plus (3 plug-ins: Send, Mix, Channel Out)
  • Complete mix & binaural engine, 330 discrete outs, 2 seats

Using an advanced virtual bus system, the SAD allows for the mixing and monitoring of any immersive format in all digital audio workstations (DAWs) and many video workstations.

Formats like 5.1, 7.1, Dolby Atmos 7.1.2 to 9.1.6, AURO-3D, MPEG-H, IMAX 3D and 22.2 are just a mouse-click away with the SAD. Use it to create and export multi-format mixes for custom configurations such as those in planetariums or other installations.

In addition, you'll see that the SAD can use existing panning and volume automation data.

This means that existing multi-channel 5.1 mix sessions are just minutes away from a discrete 7.1 mix – and then of evolving to a 3D audio mix for home, cinema, 360/VR or mobile entertainment applications.

The SAD is also the only tool in the market for authoring, mixing, monitoring, exporting and encoding all MPEG-H formats, including those compatible with Sony 360 Reality Audio.

The binaural virtual loudspeaker processing capabilites of the SAD is based on real studio measurements as well as unechoed chambers and allows for any type of format to be mixed with just regular headphones if no appropriate loudspeaker system is available.

The SAD is also the perfect tool for the straightforward production of breathtaking binaural audio mixes.

The In-One version is a plug-in geared towards monitoring needs, giving users the binaural headphone virtualization capabilities required for these purposes instantly.

If you want to create rather than simply monitor, you'll likely want to have a Virtual Producer or more expansive licenses, as the SAD In-One Plug-in does not support MPEG-H creation.


100% Object-Base Processing

Create a mix in one certain environment and play it back instantly in the environment of your choice on-site and binaural.


Unlimited Inputs

Your DAW can work with hundreds of objects/track channels easily. The objects can be from either a mono, stereo or 7.1 source.


Up to 330 Outputs

A discrete 5.1 output is as easy as 7.1.4 for MPEG-H and Dolby Atmos or 64.0 for a full-dome environment.


Object-based Export

Following the general export of your production, any format can be rendered discretely using the separate SAD Offline Export Tool.


OSC Control

All input objects and outputs can be controlled using OSC.


GUI Adjustment

Customize the interface with just a few clicks and work with the panning grid in either box or sphere style.


MPEG-H & Sony 360 RA Creation

Using Fraunhofers technology, both formats are provided in approved workflows and quality.


Output Monitoring

Any output format can be monitored and calibrated with gain, mute, and solo functions discretely and in individually selected groups.


System Requirements

  • MacOS 10.13 High Sierra and above
  • Windows 7 and above (64-bit only)
  • Intel only

Plugin Formats

AAX Native, AU, VST2, and VST3

Crossgrade Proof
