Re: Authorising Pro Tools
Just to add, I've now tried it in a PC. Straight away the computer announces that it's found an ILok and is installing drivers. This is done successfully. I then go to ILok.com and my ILok is found. But when I go to the my licences link I only see the two Ivory licences and no proTools. Installing Ivory on a PC with the ILok took me hardly any time at all.

I am sure I was informed that there was a new ILok that needed adding so I clicked the add button. But now when I go on to ILok.com I get told that there are no ILOks found, meaning that there are no ILoks inserted into the computer, even though my Ilok is definitely in and I can see a light emanating from it. I am not sure if I have installed the ILok software correctly since the last time I tried to install it, I was told I had to go into some mode that only ran Safari. When my computer restarted I was presented with a screen that I couldn't access. I don't understand how you've all managed to get this thing installed. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Authorising Pro Tools
Hi, I just installed pro tools 10 and it worked just fine but then again I had bought the boxed version that came with an ilok so did not need to create an ilok account or do anything else other then register pro tools 10 with avid. Did you buy a boxed version or download it and buy an ilok? I did go to ilok.com and install the client software but as of yet I don't have an ilok.com account and things are working just fine.

Re: Authorising Pro Tools
Hi, If you bought a boxed version of pro tools you don't need an ilok account as the ilok you will have received will have the proper license already on it so you should just be able to plug it in and run pro tools just fine. This is what I did and things are working fine now. You will need someone to help you enter in the serial numbers from the card that came with the boxed version to register it with avid but you only need to do this once and you should receive an email from avid that tells you you registerd the program.

Hi David Nick, May be its the garget note LOL But seriously folks Hook up the ilok with out running pt and go to the ilok site and make sure you see the ilok and look at the licenses for it just to make sure it is cool! :) YMMV Chuck On Feb 28, 2012, at 6:29 PM, Nick Gawronski wrote: Hi, If you bought a boxed version of pro tools you don't need an ilok account as the ilok you will have received will have the proper license already on it so you should just be able to plug it in and run pro tools just fine.
