All Oxford‑series Sonnox plug‑ins now support iLok Machine Authorisation. 
This allows you to activate your licence directly to your computer — no iLok USB or Cloud session required — while still keeping USB and Cloud activation options available if you prefer.

Prerequisites

Before enabling Machine Authorisation, ensure you have:

• The latest Oxford plug‑in installers (download here).
• The latest version of iLok License Manager (download here).
• A valid Oxford plug‑in licence in your iLok account.

Step‑by‑Step Solution

1. Update Your Plug‑ins
   • Download and install the latest versions of your Oxford plug‑ins from the Sonnox Installer Page.
   • Older versions released before Machine Authorisation support will not work with this feature.
2. Update iLok License Manager
   • Install the latest version from iLok.com.
   • Launch the app and sign in to your iLok account.
3. Deactivate the Existing Activation
   • If your Oxford licence is currently on an iLok USB or in the iLok Cloud:
     • Locate the licence in iLok License Manager.
     • Right‑click and choose Deactivate.

     • 

   • The licence will now appear in the Available tab.

   • 

4. Activate to Your Computer (Machine Authorisation)
   • In iLok License Manager, drag the licence from the Available tab to This Computer.
   • The licence icon will update to show a computer symbol indicating Machine Authorisation.

Troubleshooting / Alternative Fixes

• Machine Authorisation option not showing – Check that both your plug‑in and iLok License Manager are updated to the latest versions. Update via Sonnox Installer Page.

• Licence won’t activate to your computer – Make sure you have an available activation and that the licence isn’t still active on another device.
• Still having issues – Contact Sonnox Support.
