There is categorically no link between the serial number of your Mbox, and the authorisation code you use to install Pro Tools LE. There is even no record of your auth code "belonging" to you. So if you were to choose to distribute this code to everyone on the planet - they would have no way of...

There is no transfer of ownership of software, only hardware. Only solution is to buy the "Pro Tools 8 Upgrade" from the Avid store, or from a reseller. That is unless he can give you the discs and the software key. The software key is in no way associated to the serial number of the hardware.

Did you try what I recommended to you in the other thread, or not? This is a fairly common occurrence, and like I said, the Creative Collection needs to be reinstalled. Alternatively, if you never use structure, just move it to the unused plugins folder.

You've installed the factory bundle option, which you haven't bought. Just click exit each time one comes up, then at the end of loading, it should ask you if you'd like to move unused plugins to the unused plugins folder - they won't ask for authorisation again. As for structure, it sounds...

No, when you click "File... New Project", you have to select a folder for the project to be saved in. Make sure you choose a folder on your external drive. Do not use a USB drive; not recommended nor are they supported.

100% accurate.

I would upgrade to Pro Tools 8. It comes with a few useful plugins which will help you here. Firstly Boom - a 909 style drum machine. It's basic, and will only suit particular types of music but it's good. Secondly, you get Structure Free. This is a slimmed down version of the Structure...

Actually the minimum is 1GB, however I'd always recommend maxing out the RAM your machine can take. This is provided you can afford it.

What on earth are you talking about? I don't think you have a clue... Sorry. To the OP - no you cannot use the Axiom as the interface for Pro Tools. You can use it as a controller, yes, but interface no. The Focusrite Saffire will not ever work as an interface for Pro Tools M-Powered. You...

A P4 probably will be somewhat underpowered for Pro Tools 8 to be honest... That aside, what exactly is happening when you import projects from HD 8? Which plugins is it that you have? And what makes you think that they will be unusable? If you are at all worried about taking the upgrade, my...

Paragon (suggested above) ruined one of my drives... I ended up losing all data on a drive because of something it did. I've heard a lot of other people have had problems with it in the past. Macdrive, IMO is the best way to go for Mac/PC hard drive compatibility - that is if you are primarily...

+1 Just to further clarify this: Windows can read and write to: NTFS and FAT32 Mac can read and write to: HFS+ and FAT32 Mac can read but not write NTFS. N.B. both operating systems can read and write to a couple of other formats, however they aren't relevant here.

Seriously? Just go to Avid.com click on store, then select Pro Tools 8 Upgrades from the menu!

All interfaces are now shipping with Pro Tools 8, so unless you happen upon a shop who has really old stock, you will get Pro Tools 8 in the box.

Check out this PDF entitled "What's New in Pro Tools 8" Windows 7 support is no longer beta, in the latest update it's fully supported. There are a huge number of new features; far more than most users actually realise. There should be something there to please everyone.

You can buy an upgrade online through the Avid.com site.

For specifics read the reference manual ;)

Your 003 has 18 inputs. I think what you mean is that it only has 8 analogue inputs. Consider buying an 8 channel pre-amp/A-D converter such as the focusrite octopre, or behringer ada8000 or similar. This would then connect to your 003 via ADAT optical connection.

It happens to all of us at some time. You were due one I guess ;)

You're right, but I wouldn't worry too much about correcting him, because that was his one and only post and was a year ago! :D
