Actually, that's not true on either of the things you mention from what I
can tell. I bought an item from somewhere other than Sweet Water and they
were still more than happy to help me. Secondly, when I intially back in
the days got my MP9 bundled copy of ProTools, it had an ILok, and the asset
was already on it, but, he's still going to want to create an ILok account
and sync that asset down to his account. What if down the road he wants to
buy any ILok licensed plugins. The bottom line is, he's gonna sooner or
later enough need an ILok account.

Boxed copies of PT 9 came with the licensed on the iLok, However if this is
PT MP9 I believe the M-Audio interface acts as the copy protection mechnaism
and the ilok isn't used for those. Also Sweetwater Support as far as I know
will only be usuable on things bought from Sweetwater, and you mentioned you
bought this from amazon.

Hey guys.
I need a little help. The guy who works with me, Ben, has just gone on
Amazon, and bought him a bundled audio pack which contains a mike, pop
filter, stand, stereo earphones, the exact same ironically interface that
I'm using, and a copy of ProTools MP9. Yes, I know, that's a bit old, but
he's going to crossgrade it eventually. Right now though, he's got a
project coming up on Labor Day weekend, that he has a deadline to finish,
and being right now, our biggest concern is getting him familiarized with
the basics of PT. He's not a musician. He's going to be mainly using
this setup for spoken word.
Anyway, I think if I understood correctly that the ILok he's getting
should already come with the asset for ProTools on it. If not though,
what now with this new ILok manager thing are the steps to get his ILok
account setup, and get his ProTools license over onto the ILok? Don't
worry about accessibility. We have someone sighted who definitely can
help us. We just need to know what they will need to do to get things up
and working. I am debating just having him call Sweet Water Support and
letting them remote into his system and do it for him, but I'd rather not
bother them and just get his mom or dad to help us do it, if possible. I
can help him once we get past that, but that's really the biggest concern.
I know how to do it with the old web based ILok manager, but I know
nothing about this new way of doing it which I hear is completely
inaccessible. I really hope we get that issue fixed eventually. Anyway,
I'm going to try to get Ben to join the list later today. I think he had
intended to do so, and got sidetracked, so I'll remind him. I'm mainly
writing on his behalf though as first of all, he doesn't know anything
about this type stuff, but is definitely wanting to learn, and 2, with him
not being on the list yet, plus the fact I'm gonna be the one helping him
one on one to get up and running... I just want to make sure all my ducks
are in a row to help him, cause you know what happens to the levels when
you duck something too much... OK, never mind. That was a smart ass
really! bad! joke. Seriously speaking though, yeah, if someone could give
me an idea of the process to get, or to be sure in the first place, that
his asset is on that included ILok, I'd really appreciate it. Again, us
getting sighted help isn't an issue at all. That should be fairly easy to
do.
Chris.
