    Sorry, I completely forgot I still could.
    So I did download it, and replaced the Protools.exe and it worked.. But I think that maybe for us, to have the 2021.12 features, we would need to copy some more folders / files... otherwise it´s just the 2021.7 features..
    I didn´t needed to copy the theme folder because I already had it

    Pro Tools First was a scam! You could rent or buy Plugins starting from 500 bucks!

    if you have an account, which is free to sign up for, you can download a trial, but you can also access the downloads page with older versions of PT

    Sorry @Joe Crisp but I can't figure out what kind of license did you activate Pro Tools with?

    I replaced my Protools.exe with the 30 days trial (Pro Tools 2021.12 Installer Win (ZIP) 2.56 GB), from my account, not the First, and it worked too..

    Didn't R2R warn you to not use the ProTools.exe from the first option if you already own a legit license? :dunno:

    I don't suppose anyone has the full installers for Pro Tools First and the extra content, by chance? :winker:

    I have the pro tools first 2021.7 full version, but you can't activate it now, don't know what extra content you're referring to, if you've already activated first on Avid's site, you don't even need the first program, just install the R2R version, follow the directions and you're good to go, all you need to know is in the NFO text

    The version I have is from 2015 and the extra content was Xpand II. It's not installed on my machine anymore but was activated once upon a time. I was hoping to try a newer/newest version out, as that one you were still forced to save projects to the cloud. (& Then of course play with some of those R2R goodies, with any luck?) :wink: Or do you mean that, besides already being activated with i-Lok, being a new install I wouldn't be able to activate it with Avid again?

    I have... Tried to install that EC-300 bundle that was going free for a limited time, but unless you have a iLok USB key, you're stuck with the evil Always Online crappy i-Cok Cloud option. Utter Trash! Perhaps if I owned said key I would have had a better user experience, but I'm not going out of my way to buy one. :dont:
