#Pro tools free trial ilok install#

having a required dedicated audio/session drive), OS and interface driver dependencies, following carefully the install instructions and the post-install systems optimizations (given in the install documentation). OK Sorry for the tone Deslog, but Pro Tools is just not something you want to tackle without very carefully reading the systems requirements (esp. Look instead of a $60 DSC, I'll offer a $499 per year support plan where you can call me once a month to discuss installing Pro Tools demos. Of course you could evaluate Logic Pro, Studio One, Reaper, or any other of many other DAWs that don't need an iLok, are not about to screw you with mandatory support subscriptions, simply cost less and are very capable products in their own rights.

And prepare yourself to pay for mandatory Avid support subscriptions if you ever want to get upgrades to your Pro Tools purchase, read the other threads on DUC at the moment, that news is going over *great* with Pro Tools users. Oh and be sure to check out the ZDT plans from Pace because if you misplace that iLok or it is stolen you really do lose that license. Including their horrible customer support, buggy software and problematic upgrades, but that is the licensing hardware that Avid forces everybody to have because they don't trust their users. Many Pro Tools users hate Pace/iLok with a vengeance. If that does not work I can help you, with phone based trouble shooting for $60 per call if you buy a DSC (Darryl Support Code) on my web site (if it happens to be working). Just click you heels together three times and say 'I wish I was running Pro Tools'.

No, all the instructions saying you do, and my just clearly already answering your question saying you do are in fact all wrong.

So to use a trial I have to purchase an ilok2, really?
