Interestingly enough, I was the one who first requested this accessibility
back in February of 2015, and D. McLaughlin said that they hadn't thought
about that when they originally made the first version of Ilok License
Manager, but that the next major release, possibly available in November of
this year, will be accessible.

imminent
release



FYI, Pace just informed us that the upcoming release of the iLok License
Manager, version 2.6, will have support for screen readers on both Mac and
windows. The migration from QT4 to QT5 was more work than they expected
(which has nothing to do with accessibility, per se) and they did run into a
few bugs to work around in the accessibility implementation built into QT5.
This week, they're adding a number of keyboard shortcuts. As a result of the
delays, the release of version 2.6 is going to be more like mid November
which is only a little later than originally projected. All in all, good
news.

One thing to remember is that this first release is likely to have some
issues and it won't be perfect out of the gate but, where there are
problems, they'll get resolved in subsequent releases. Looking forward to
having access once again…
best,

Slau
