hey ! hope it's note too late to ask you this, but when I clic on "checkout" in the cart, avid leads me to the home page. My computer is compatible with PT, I've tried many times to refresh page and it still doesn't work. Do you have any idea to fix this?
Hello; I purchased Pro Tools around 2012, & am somewhat of a casual user. I got the perpetual license with a year support 12-31-18, but am having some issues with my Alienware computer. If it get's scrubbed at the repair shop, will I be able to reload my perpetual license, without too much issue? I have the registration card with the code. Again, I use it sparingly, but hope to get more involved with it someday.
There have been many advancements in Pro Tools since 2018. I wouldn't recommend using a version that old. I would suggest upgrading to Pro Tools Studio. They are running a special right now.
Gonna be honest bro.. Tried to follow you but what pops up on your screen isnt what pops up on mine so i really cant follow you. I have a pc. For instance, theres no file tab to even click to go to cloud session. Thats pretty much where i got left behind
I'm on a PC also. I'm in my iLok License Manager right now and there is a file tab in the top left with a cloud session option. You should have the "file" tab as every application has that.
I having such a problem I have downloaded the link and paid the subscription. I logged into my Ilok account and just downloaded the ilok license manager. The pro tools file will not do anything. Please help
If your iLok account is synced up with Pro Tools and you don't see it in there, you'll need to reach out to Avid support. Someone else was having that problem recently.
I got a question I think I'm missing something but when I try to open pro tools I'm getting a message say select which license this is my first time ever downloading or dealing with license to use a daw I downloaded the ilok license manger when I see the list I noticed protocols is not active like in your video
How do you install protools onto another Mac 🖥 if bought already and backed up to hard drive ? what version do I have if I don’t use avid to work with protools ?? And do I need it to do anything ?
Please help!! When i want to add drums i click on splice on top of the page but the pro tools disappear and when i click again on pro tools the splice page disappears. So they don’t be together So I can’t do Drag and Drop.
Hi - I am missing Falcon AAX? I have this on my Ilok License Manager, somehow not appearing at the Avid Link at all? Maybe you could configure me out again, thanks?
i just bought and downloaded the Perpetual version of pro tools and linked my ilok account but pro tools is not showing up in my ilok. i have my cloud open and everything
its showing that its active on there website and in the avid link i can right click pro tools and click the license drop down and theres a box that says use license but it wont let me click it
Should all my products like protools subscription be activated to my desktop OR my Ilok cloud (as those are the 2 options listed on my ILok license manager)? I seem to have Pro Tools subscription, HEAT and Avid Falcon AAX activated to my ILOk cloud and Avid Complete Plug-In Bundle activated to my desktop in ILok License Manager? I'm trying to troubleshoot if this is the problem causing us to be unable to sign into protools when we open that up? We cannot sign in or edit in protools.
SO I MAY HAVE INSTALLED PRO TOOLS INCORRECTLY AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN GET THE APP TO OPEN. CAN I UNINSTALL THE APP AND THEN REINSTALL? I NO LONGER HAVE THE ACTIVATION CODE ON HAND THOUGH. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO.
I have a question I've been trying pro tools for 2 days now and still cant find a way to open it properly even after doing all steps, so first it doesn't even show activated in green like yours even when I did everything you did and when I open it, it loads up like a quarter way and then stops and says loading plugins. Please if you can help that would be thankful because I'm about to refund but I want this Daw specifically.
@@AudioSorcerer... this is my 4th attempt to unistall Pro Tools 9.0.3, nothing I've tried seems to remove whatever is leftover or HD drivers etc. I've followed both of your videos. Not the end of the world but the Error. 2732 keeps me installing 2021.3.
If you haven't already tried all this, the best thing to do is to reboot your computer and then uninstall Pro Tools through your Windows program section and then make sure to reboot your computer again. After that, use avid link to start the download process of the new Pro Tools and then install it. It took me a few tries.
@@AudioSorcerer I'll try that. I've also heard, unistall it using the 9 installer or install 12 first. And finally, and use Revo Uninstaller Pro which didn't help. The Error message is "2732 Directory Manager etc...I appreciate your help.
Make sure you have Avid Link set to run as administrator. It's a windows thing you can set by right-clicking on the icon and going into the properties.
Do you have the paid version? Pro Tools 2020.11 came out today. Along with several new features, it looks like it fixes an issue related to Pro Tools crashing upon start-up on some windows PCs.
@@AudioSorcerer okay so I have everything linked I have everything downloaded the only issue is it downloaded onto my computer as a zip file. So I can't figure out how to open it. I even went and downloaded a browser stacker from the chrome web store to see if that would help. It did nothing
@@AudioSorcerer okay do you think you can point me in the right direction of other software that's either free or cheap but decent that I can use on a Chromebook I already have audacity and it's all right and I also use bandlab and that's also okay.
@@samanthaabeyllez9003 Those are probably the best you can use on a Chromebook. All the best daws require a lot of horsepower to run and are designed for PC and Mac.
Hi, thanks for the video, very informative and easy to follow. I do have a question. I had only recently purchased this and the new version has subsequently landed. It was just about a week ago, thereabouts. So I downloaded this version. The question goes toward the admin. Do I go to the ZIP files that have downloaded onto my desktop download folder and UNZIP them and then do Admin as per your instructions?ruclips.net/video/DvzYFQ3yT5I/видео.html This after I UNZIP all the files?
My second question relates to the audio drivers. I have a Dell 17 9700 and while the sound works via the head phones, from the previous version I downloaded, it does not go through the internal speakers. I downloaded ASIOFORALL but that didn't seem to do it.
I recommend getting a separate audio interface and not using your built-in audio card. If you use ASIO4ALL you have to make sure you select the proper stuff in it for it to work.
@@AudioSorcerer it doesn’t see the drivers. I think I have to download a driver that links protools and the speakers. But not sure as yet. I was hoping to avoid getting a seperate audio interface.

How do you install protools onto another Mac 🖥 if bought already and backed up to hard drive ? what version do I have if I don’t use avid to work with protools ?? And do I need it to do anything ?
You'd have to check with Avid or in forums for those answers. I don't use a Mac.
hey do you know whats the difference between this and the full version of pro tools.
Thank you, it was very helpful for me as a beginner.
No problem. Check out the Pro Tools playlist on my RUclips page if you need any more tips and tricks. 👍
You my good sir are a God send
I try my best! 😋
when I go to the avid site it looks different than this, and when I go to support I don't see compatibility anywhere.
Are you looking for compatibility specs? Honestly, if you just Google your question it will find the Pro Tools page easier than searching on the site.
@@AudioSorcerer thanks for the reply but i figured it out
Hey man.

You have your iLok user ID linked under your Avid account on the Avid website?
Followed every step, when I get to clicking the orange install button I get a download error msg, any ideas?
You could try downloading the file directly from your Avid account online. Sometimes Avid Link is finicky.
