Some of my third party plugins won’t respond and will get blacklisted if my iLok isnt in because they require either an iLok or online verification.

Do any of those plugins have the ability to do some form of physical licensing, either on a dongle or a hard disk? That’s one way to go offline.

From my understanding Some of these plugins start throwing exceptions the second they don’t see a license. If you’re set up so your licenses are in “the cloud” and you’re not online, hows it supposed to see a license?
