camillo jr Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 After years of mostly hassle-free iLok use, over the last few months, I've been getting error messages regarding two of my plug-ins - Air EQ Premium and Oxford Inflator. But I suspect that it's not about these particular plugins, they just happen to be frequently used ones. So the plug-in can't be used but sometimes this is transitory and often fixes itself for unknown reasons. Or I'll get the error messages but the plugs will work anyway. My dongle setup is an un-powered Logiix 4-in-one-out with three dongles and my computer keyboard plugged into that. The iLok is iLok 2 Tried: Switching the hub to another USB port on the computer. Worked fine for a while but then got some new error messages. Sometimes, I'll open a project, the plugs will be greyed out, then I'll reopen and they work again. Then I noticed that the problem occasionally coincided with me recharging my phone on from a USB port on my computer. So I wondered if this was a bus power issue? Next thing to try is buy a powered USB hub. (Any recommendations? Ones to avoid?) Anyone here has encountered this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 def a powered hub, check on amazon. you could also try resetting the power manager (google that), and/or resetting PRAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillo jr Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thanks for the tips, fisherking. Now that I've got a powered hub, I'll be monitoring to see if all is well in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
