Us moderators can't see your ilok account so someone will be contacting you as soon as possible. I have escalated this to Avid so they can have a look.

Is there anything I can do or do I need to purchase something like a new iLok key? I do not wish to upgrade from where I am. You do not have any pending deliveries for the license(s) you need to authorize the software.'
