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).


Experience the pinnacle of piano perfection with this software instrument that delivers the legendary Steinway & Sons sound straight to your studio and DAW.

By focusing on the core tonal characteristics that make the D-274 a favorite among pianists worldwide, this edition offers all the nuances this instrument is famous for in a streamlined, accessible virtual instrument.

Handpicked by virtuoso Stefan Mendl of Vienna Piano Trio fame, VSL's very own Concert D-274 ranks among the best sounding pianos in Vienna.

Expertly sampled to perfection in the lush Hollywood-proven ambience of the acclaimed Stage A of Vienna Synchron Stage, this iconic concert grand fascinates with its warm, resonant, and detailed tone.

Unleash the immense power and rich tonal depth of the D-274 in a sleek, efficient package at an attractive price point.


Piano Power, Precisely Sampled

The Concert D is a masterpiece of both sound and design.

To capture its full range of nuances, Vienna’s engineers developed a highly precise motion-control system featuring a solenoid-operated, noise-free "robot finger".

This micro-controller moves the finger with superhuman precision, allowing for flexible curvatures in both key down-strokes and release movements.

While offering fewer velocity layers than the premium Synchron Concert D-274 collection, this "Essentials" version delivers breathtaking realism.

Recorded in the exceptional acoustics of the expansive main hall of Vienna Synchron Stage – renowned for its warm, transparent, and natural sound - this space serves as the perfect backdrop for the majestic D-274.

From adjusting resonance and shaping individual key dynamics to filtering specific ranges or even tweaking individual notes, the intuitive interface of the Synchron Piano Player puts unparalleled creative control at your fingertips while offering a natural, hyper-realistic playing experience.
