Authorising ProTools
Hi, I've finally got round to trying to get ProTools installed on the Mac after having it since July, but I can't authorise it because I have no way of unchecking the use Licence card option. I press VO space on it and it says unchecked but when I shift tab the tab to it again it tells me that it's still checked. There seems no way to uncheck the box using VO. Also weirdly, none of the buttons like authorise, back, next, quit etc work with VO space; you have to press enter on them in spite of VO telling you to press VO space. Any ideas; or do I need to get someone sighted to do this for me?

Do you have a registered ilok key?

Hi Slau, Sighted assistance is definitely required! It would be nice is this was fixed! Any movement about VoiceOver at the AES show? Since PT 10 is out they should have some techs laying around looking for something to do! :) Talk soon Chuck Talk soon On Nov 1, 2011, at 5:53 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: David, Some installers are quirky in the way VoiceOver interacts with them. Try routing the mouse pointer to the VO cursor and performing a mouse click either with a physical mouse or with the VO-Shift-Space Bar.

Re: Authorising ProTools
I’m surprised at this. I never had a problem with it since it uses the ilok key and I had entered my SN during the install.

authorising ProTools
Hi all, I thought authorising ProTools was straightforward. My iloc key is in my USB port, and I click the authorise button but nothing happens. Do you need cited assistance? Thanks for your help, JPR http://www.facebook.com/jprykiel http://myspace.com/jeanphilipperykiel
Re: authorising ProTools
Just so that you know, because I was hung up a little on this myselfthe window that first comes up when you first open Pro Tools that has an Authorize button is not for Pro Tools. I think Pro Tools comes with some extra plug-ins that are temporary teasers that they want you to buy and this window refers to those plugins. On my machine, I cancelled out of this and was asked if I wanted to move these plugins into the Not Used folder and then taken into Pro Tools. Once I moved those into Not Used I never was again prompted to Authorize. This window was very ambiguous. Also, I had a problem with clicking on the authorize buttonthe regular VOI space does not seem to work. You probably need to route your mouse to the VO cursor and then click (this would be CONTROL + OPTION + COMMAND + F5 to route the mouse to the VO cursor and shift + control + option + space to click). Hope this helps. Slau Halatyn wrote: There are instructions on a card which tell you to go to Avid's registration site and enter the authorization code which is printed on the card. You'll have to get someone to read that code. Once you enter it on the web site, an iLok license will be deposited into your iLok account (which you also need to have set up before you register Pro Tools). Finally, you'll have to transfer the license to your iLok key. Then you'll be able to use Pro Tools.
