I believe with PT 9.05 or 9.06 PT has been supported on lion. Are you guys that are having issues running the latest version of PT or are you still on 9.0 or9.0.3? I am running lion 10.7.3 on both my macs and have no issues with my PT 9.0.5 or PT 10 installs. I am however running the Non HD version so your milage may vary, but if you are having issues, may be time to update to a later version if available.
