Counterfeiting is a major threat to innovation and creativity in our industry. Developing software licensing and encryption is not something that excites us, but as we must regularly change our passwords and lock our doors, it is vital we protect our IP. To do this, we have introduced the AvoKey. The AvoKey is a USB dongle that plugs into your console or laptop and allows you to upgrade to Titan v12 and above or Ai v11 and above.
If you do not wish to upgrade your software, it is not compulsory. Titan v11 and Ai v10 will run without an AvoKey and point versions have been released to ensure the software performs at optimum level.
To ensure you have the right AvoKey for your product, check the AvoKey selection and Installation guide below.
To purchase an AvoKey, contact your local distributor or Avolites directly.
