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. Hope this helps. Nick Gawronski

Hi, I really can't believe I've had ProTools now for 5 months and still haven't
got it authorised yet. I havne' really put much effort into resolving the issue
but I've decided that I really need to get it sorted.
I installed it successfully and updated it fine in order to use it on Lion. It
came with an Ilok that is apparently authorised. But when I attempt to
authorise using the Liscnce card option it fails and says that there is no
license on the ILok. I have to the best of my knowledge installed the Ilok
software. I have not registered this particular ILok because there was nothing
in the manual about having to do anything. I already use an Ilok for Ivory and
was hoping to be able to download a licence on to that but the manual suggests
that I need to use the authorised ILok.
Incidentally if I try to authorise with the alternative option to the license
card option I get something called a challenge which is a series of random
words. Goodness knows what that's all about.
Any ideas?
