PACE Anti-Piracy's 3rd-generation iLok, aka iLok3, offers a smaller, faster device holding three times the number of licenses. Recent advances in chip design and manufacturing processes have enabled the evolution of the new iLok version, which is much smaller and more robust than its predecessors. The new iLok is fully backward compatible with previous versions—so all software developed for use with a 2nd-generation iLok will continue to work with this 3rd-generation iLok.

Since its release 16 years ago, the iLok hardware device has never been compromised. The design of the 3rd-generation iLok is a huge step up from previous versions. The internal components are ingeniously small, packed into their metal case using methods that make duplication virtually impossible. And fewer components means fewer points of failure once the device is being used in the field.
