sure, I'll definitely sign. Does anybody have the
text of Kevin's petition or an equally
well-written one to use as a model? The tone of these things is so important.

Well,
If you all would be willing to sign it, I'll go
ahead and start a patition. Hey, Kevin and Slau
did it back in the days with Digidesign, and
hey! it worked! Look at how much accessibility we now have in PT!

Thanks Gordon, I wasn't concerned about
security, I was just wondering whether it was an
option, but I think it will be a lot easier just
to get a friend to do it in this instance. These
sighted people do have their uses sometimes. A
bit of a pain though. I often think that one of
the reasons companies are slow or uninterested
to make things accessible might be because they
are not aware of how many people the issue
actually affects. It's almost as if we should be
using mailing lists like this to send a joint
email to the companies. Or a petition. Nothing
too heavy handed, just to make our voices heard.
Power in numbers, and all that.

not a security risk if that's what you are
concerned about, and it saves me a boatload of time and anguish.

Hi Gordon, when you say someone did it for you
remotely, do you mean they remotely controlled
your computer, or did they manage to just do it
for you without remotely controlling your
computer? If the latter, then I may look into
that, otherwise I’ll just wait for a friend to help me.
Thanks.

Hi:
You probably could have someone from avid
support do the authorization for you
remotely. I had gotten my pt11 from
sweetwater and they did it for me in a
jiffy. Now that doesn't let ilok off the
hook. I have managed to stumble through it on
windows with a combination of NVDA and Jaws
ocr, but it's really hit or miss and I'm
always afraid I'm going to mess something up.

they're apparently still working on it *sigh*
Luckily for the sighted help, the process is not difficult.
In my case, I recently picked up Eiosis Air EQ and some more things
from Slate Digital. In both cases, you get a license redeem code.
Run the iLok License manager, log in with your iLok account name and
password, and I suggest you have someone click the box to remember
this in future to speed things up.
On the left of the screen are your locations which can accept
licenses. Usually this is the name of your computer and any attached
iLok's which are detected.
On the right-hand side of the screen are all your licenses. Clicking
on a destination on the left may simplify the list on the right for
your sighted help by only showing which licenses are on that attached iLok.
There are four buttons on screen for doing things like redeeming
licenses, copying licenses, etc. You only see text which identifies
what each button does when you hover over them with the mouse. So
don't do what I did and ask your help to look for redeem or activate,
because they won't see that until the mouse is on the buttons.
Find the redeem button and click it, then paste in the long code you
got with your plug-in. Next, a destination dialog pops up and you
simply click on the name of your iLok. That's it.
It irritates me to no end that we can't do this ourselves, since
really, it's nothing more than a copy and paste operation.

Is the Ilok Manager still not
accessible? I've not had a need to try it in
quite some time, but here in the next couple
months, there are some plugins that I really
highly am considerring either purchasing, or
asking for for Christmas. The only thing is,
they use ILok. My mom has very very gladly
agreed to help me get things transferred if
needed, bless her heart, but it really would
be nice if I didn't have to rely on her each
time I need something done. I know we were
working closely with Pace Antipiracy, so was
just wonderring how responsive they're being,
if any. I'm not saying I've totally lost all
hope, as I most certainly haven't. This
however said, I really really think we need
to continue letting them know how crutially
important this is! When PT 11 was first
released, I understand that they had a lot of
things on their plate at that time, as they
needed to be sure that licensing worked in
general with the new PT 11, which I'm sure
behind the scenes took quite some time and
testing. Let's be 100 percent fair. They had
bigger things on them at that time than to
really worry right then about accessibility
issues. I'm not saying that it's an excuse
to totally deny accessible access. Please
please please! don't misread what I am trying
here to say. All I'm saying is, it took a
back seat. And, you know, ok, that's
fair. They did indeed have other things they
had to deal with. I'm very much willing to
respect that fact. Actually, I'm willing to
respect it more than I initially anticipated
that I would be. This said however, we're a
fair ways now into the 11.X cycle. I'm not
exactly sure what the most recent 11 build
is, Last I knew, I think it was like, 11.2,
wasn't it? Anyway, point is, I think they've
had some time now to probably settle a bit
down with stuff. Again, don't misinterpret
what I'm trying here to convey. I'm not
saying that accessibility shouldn't be a
priority. It should be! I just wonder if
we're at a stable enough point where we can
start contacting them again to figure out
what is going on, and make sure they've not
forgotten us. I love ProTools, but this is
the one pet peeve that I have which really irritates me to absolutely no end!
Chris.
