Default software ilok-manager in your linux? share your details?

I've read a few success stories, people with MX Linux,
and maybe others, would you please share your success stories,
or partial successes, so we can get this in the win column?

Will help knowing your kernel, wine version, distro, desktop environment,
daw, alsa or jackd, extras installed in wine along the way, along with
basic hardware, cpu, motherboard brand, or other relevant steps you took
Cheers

Had a temporary success in Mint 18, the ilok-manager installed OK,
I installed AIR Music Tech's Boom drum machine, went to the
ilok-manager website, registered the software, and after finding it's
sound-set, it worked fine (in Reaper 5.961/wine-staging 3.21)

Next, I installed AIR's Hybrid3 synth, and when trying to register it,
errors started showing up, and then even Boom no longer can load.
Will be checking on a fresh wine in a little while.
Cheers

It looks to me like something in Hybrid3's install regimen
modified the version of Apple's BonJour network tool,
which get's installed by i-lok -manager. I think Boom is
a much newer refugee from Pro Tools, than Hybrid3,
and Hybrid wanted an older BonJour.

Maybe it's just an oversite in programming that a regression
is allowed. The coders maybe thought it would be Pro Tools
forever an ever.

It can be a pain to deal with BonJour, because it can block
Reaper from starting in some scenarios, mDNSResponder may
be the nuisance tool. Might need to keep Reaper's
version-checking off. If I was in Seattle, I'd be sleepless.

I'm using it succesfully since last year IIRC. I posted this in another thread:

"It does not need any wine override. I've created the fresh wineprefix, ran 'License Support Win64.exe' and then ran '[...]/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/iLok License Manager/iLok License Manager.exe' and that was it. From there you login into your account and authorise things, then run the plugins (they have to be installed in the same wineprefix as the iLok manager) with LinVST or whatever and that's all"

I'm using Arch Linux, linux-ck 4.19.5, wine-tkg-git 4.21, i7 6700k, a 1060 6Gb card... don't know which of these specs are relevant, except maybe for the distro. First time I got it runing was with wine-staging, but it also worked with wine vanilla

I'm on Manjaro/KDE with latest kernel 4.19.5-2, Wine-Staging 3.21-1 and just installed latest ilok manager under wine. I can't even get License Manager to open.

Are you by chance using 32-bit wine and ilok manager? I'm trying using 64-bit and no luck whatsoever.

I'm not. What does it output when you start the application in a terminal emulator?

Thanks for your update! I'll try some different
and more stable wines. Do you have any
AIR aiep3 plugins installed?
Cheers

I just managed to get this to work.

Archlinux, wine 3.21 with no overrides.

Steps (possibly ignore my use of a wine prefix, but on the other hand be careful with your activations so that you don't lose them)...

1. Create a new wineprefix only for soundtoys.
WINEPREFIX=~/.wvst-prefixes/soundtoys winecfg

2. Install soundtoys and ilok/bonjour.
WINEPREFIX=~/.wvst-prefixes/soundtoys wine ~/Software/Plugins/soundtoys/Soundtoys5_5.3.0.14027_64.exe

3. Run the ilok manager and activate the plugins to your local computer.
WINEPREFIX=~/.wvst-prefixes/soundtoys wine ~/.wvst-prefixes/soundtoys/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/iLok\ License\ Manager/iLok\ License\ Manager.exe

4. Add the needed LinVst .so files.
5. Start reaper and let it scan the plugins.

Note that this failed with wine staging 3.21, the reason I didn't get it working before. Seems not to start the needed "PaceLicenseDServices" service.

I do the following to manage my wine prefixes. It makes it easier to manage my windows plugins and overrides, but might also come at a theoretical or actual performance cost.

I created the ~/.wvst directory which I include in Reaper's VST scanning path. It's the only reference in the plugin scan path to my windows plugins.

Then I ran "ln -s ~/.wvst-prefixes/soundtoys/drive_c/Program\ Files/Vstplugins/Soundtoys ~/.wvst/soundtoys" to create a symbolic link to where the actual libs are located. I've similarly symlinked the VstPlugins directories of other prefixes in the same directory.

Wow, was somewhat doubting to ever seeing ilok working in wine! Am very pleased finally having access to echoboy and others in Reaper for Linux!

Yes, Hybrid and Xpand!2. Other working iLok plugins that I have installed are:

Soundtoys 5 bundle
2016 Stereo Room - Eventide
Ultrachannel - Eventide
EQuivocate - Eventide (Newfangled Audio)
Time and Tone bundle - Softube

(all good one-time freebies except for Soundtoys)

I like to have a wineprefix only for iLok and these plugins because this program doesn't get along with wine overrides that are needed to get some other plugins working


Almost forgot: to get some graphics working in plugins like PanMan and FilterFreak run winetricks gdiplus on its wineprefix
