#ILOK LICENSE MANAGER AVID PRO#

You can hold “n” when starting Pro Tools, to force the app to display the playback engine selection window, so you can choose your interface.

#ILOK LICENSE MANAGER AVID INSTALL#

Install ASIO4ALL which is a free WDM wrapper:.

Buy an officially supported internal or external(USB/Firewire) sound card with ASIO support.

So if you see this error message, you have 2 choices: Most onboard sound cards do not have ASIO and therefore Pro Tools cannot use them out of the box.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the rollback.

If your computer is unplugged, be sure to plug it into wall power and click Next.

Select a reason for going back, then click Next.

Under Recovery, Go back to the previous version of Windows 10, click on Get Started.

If you have recently upgraded to a version not yet certified by Avid, you can rollback to the previous version by following these instructions:

MacOS Catalina 10.15.7, Big Sur 11.6+, Monterey 12.6+ or Ventura 13.4ĭo not upgrade to later versions until Avid certifies it and upgrade your version of Pro Tools accordingly to support it. Quite a difference to PT.As of Pro Tools 2023.6, you must be running: The Emagic dongle you speak of was supported only till Logic V.7 You dont seem to have the same hostility toward the first Ilok? Go puchase plugins from Slate (He has specials all the time giving them away for free), Sonnox, Avid, Metric Halo, etc. You can think of it as an added expense but it extends further than PT itself. Its not really a matter of how long you have been with them, Its a case of how much attention has been paid and if you have purchased any plugins the last few years that has required an Ilok 2. I have been with them for around 13 years and have multiple Ilok 2's before 11 came around due to certain plugins. That symbol corresponds to the Ilok you need.

That's why it's an Avid let-down, because ultimately it is the way they have decided to protect the software which is the root cause. Now Logic Pro X doesn't even require a dongle, neither does BFD. Other DAW/software developers manage to license their products without the added expense, like Logic for example, for which I was able to use my Emagic XSKey (from v5) right up to v7, and possibly 8 or 9 had I continued with it. Just because iLok 2 has been around for some time makes no difference, it's still a forced expenditure. However, the image beside my PT 11 license (within iLok License Manager) is of a different shape to the one by my PT 10 license, which corresponds to my actual iLok.įurthermore, what aggravates me is that I have had to pay for the upgrade to 11 and now have to pay out more. Hence my research leading me to believe I had compatible hardware all-round. This suggests to me that I have an iLok 2, as is required for PT 11.

The same information is on my iLok online account. I have just activated a 30-day PT 10 extension, which Bruce kindly gave me, and within iLok License Manager it shows a list of connected devices, namely my iMac and 'iLok 2 (*******)'. I checked my iLok account and said I had iLok 2. Because Avid is so particular about the system PT runs on, I spent hours poring over the requirements and compatibility with my hardware (Mac and interface), OS and third party plug-ins. To say I did not do 'any research' prior to upgrading is factually incorrect. Realistically the only one who has let you down is yourself! Once you get over yourself and get what is needed to run PT11, you'll get a dual licence for 10 & 11. Obviously you didn't take the time to do any research and 'because I've been an Avid/Digidesign customer for a number of years' leaves you with no excuse for not knowing in advance of upgrading. The fact that PT11 needs an iLok2 has been a well known fact for a long time (before the release of 11).
