If the protected software is dormant or not running, the channel remains open, but no information is being passed. The only data that passes in this open channel is directly related to the license check. This ultra-secure communication line is referred to as a ‘Cloud Session’. When a license is activated from a user’s iLok account to the iLok Cloud, we open a secure, highly encrypted line of communication to our license activation server. When protected software runs, it encounters a request for a valid license - this is the license check. The second part is the license check itself. First, the ‘Cloud Session’ is an open channel from the end user’s computer to our licensing activation server. The iLok Cloud can be thought of in two parts. Works with an array of license types including perpetual, subscription, and rental licenses.
