Licensing, plugin files, projects, and content often look related during a computer move, but they are separate pieces. The workflow below isolates the exact job this page is meant to solve.
$25 for one item
iLok's current FAQ lists $25 to transfer one eligible license or locked bundle.
$50 cap for multiple items
Multiple eligible licenses or bundles transferred together are capped at $50 total.
Publisher rules still matter
Paying the fee does not make a non-transferable license transferable.

iLok transfer fee examples
| Example | Expected fee |
|---|---|
| One transferable plugin license | $25 |
| One transferable locked bundle | $25 |
| Two eligible licenses transferred together | $50 total |
| Ten eligible licenses transferred together | $50 total |
What does “locked bundle” mean?
Some iLok licenses are grouped so the individual parts cannot be separated for transfer. The publisher determines the structure and eligibility.
Do publishers add restrictions?
Yes. A publisher may prohibit resale, require its own transfer procedure, or apply product-specific rules.
Do you pay this fee to move to another computer?
No. The $25/$50 fee is for account-to-account ownership transfer. Moving your own license between your own activation locations is a different process. Use the new-computer iLok guide. For a sale, use the account-transfer guide.
