Q:
Can I use Floppy Disk Plug-In Authorizations for Pro Tools 6.0 on OS X?
 
A:
Please be advised that floppy-based copy protection authorizations will not work on OS X. If you are upgrading to OS X and have any legacy Digidesign or Digidesign-distributed plug-ins with floppy-based copy protection registered with us that have not been updated, we would like to update these with the new iLok USB Hardware Key copy protection developed for Pro Tools and OS X. We can accomplish this automatically by depositing these applicable authorizations for you at iLok.comTo set up an account, please go to www.iLok.com and register.The product registration card that comes with Pro Tools 6.0 asks you to go to iLok.com to set up an account and subsequentlyto provide your iLok.com account number on the card. Instead of a number, this is actually the unique User ID that you choose when you create your iLok.com account. Once we receive your Pro Tools 6.0 registration card, we will add your iLok.com User ID to your customer account. Then, we will electronically deposit authorizations (assets) directly into your iLok.com account for any Digidesign and Digidesign-distributed plug-ins and software options that you have registered with us. At that point, you simply go to iLok.com to retrieve your new plug-in authorizations. For more information on iLok technology, see the iLok Information page at www.digidesign.com and the iLok Usage Guide for Pro Tools 6.0 on your Pro Tools CD or in the Digidesign Support section Technical Document Libraryat www.digidesign.com any third-party key disk authorized software, please contact the manufacturer about upgrading.iLok USB Hardware Keys are sold separately, and are available from your Authorized Digidesign Dealer or the Digidesign Web Store.
