    If i buy a downloadable version of PT 11 (which, opposed to the box version, might NOT come with an install of v.10) does anyone know if the legit iLok authorization that it comes with, will work on a PT 10 install dl'ed from Avid website???

    I'm asking this because I think you people will be quicker at answering this question than Sweetwater (an online dealer)... Plus, I'll be buying the Student-Version (for 299$) which I am not sure if it comes with a PT 10 install like boxed Non-Student version does. :wink:

    thanks friends!!

    i see on your License Manager that 2 PT licenses are on your key (v. 10 & 11)... So, were you automatically sent those when you 1st authorized your PT purchase?... and how do uou know that the various PT 11 products (PT 11 regular, PT 11-Academic, PT HD 11) all offer both licenses? Did you have to do anything special to acquire v.10?

    What if i wanted to use 9?... or is it only 10 or 11?..(not that i want to use 9).. just wonder.

    Do you have it on PC or mac?... if pc, does your legit copy get "Access Violation" saving errors and shit?

    Thanks a lot for reply mate! :mates:

    After a purchase of Pro Tools 11, AVID will sent you a license in your iLok account for Pro Tools 10 and 11.

    So you can have both Pro Tools 10 & 11 on the same computer .

    When you start Pro Tools ,this will scan your iLok for license ,so if you bought Pro Tools 11 HD it will open with Pro Tools 11 HD and

    if you bought Pro Tools 11 regular ,it will run as Pro Tools 11 regular.

    PT 11 regular, PT 11-Academic, PT HD 11,are the same application for everybody.

    When you start Pro Tools, this will run in mode HD if you bought a Pro Tools HD, or regular Pro Tools if you bought a regular version etc...

    Pro Tools 10 come with Pro Tools 11 ,so as I already said if you buy Pro Tools 11,you can run Pro Tools 10 also for the same price .

    You don't have to do anything special to have Pro Tools 10.

    umm... hmmm... your answer wasnt very clear... i think i still need clarification...


    just kidding ; )

    okay... that's great then. My next hurdle then is the presence of a still "buggy" program, despite it bein legit. I read somewhere that PT doesnt run well on pc... i wonder what the majority-rule is on that..

    thanx again brother

    I use Cubasse 7.5 and Pro Tools 11 on a Mac, so I cannot help you on this point, but I'm a Pc user for all the rest .
