It is a way for a software vendor to prevent software piracy. iLOK protected software activates by iLOK software giving the protected software the okay to activate. iLOK maintains a file of iLOK protected software you purchased. When you load and try to use iLOK protected software you haven't purchased, the iLOK protected software will not activate.

PG Music uses software activation by serial number; i.e. you enter the serial number and the software activates. The serial number is either shipped with the storage media or from PG Music support.
