Pro Tools 12 - Register, Download, Install, Activate (Video)

[Benoni]

I screen capped the entire process of registering a Pro Tools 12 upgrade and support plan to my Avid account, all the way through downloading, activating the iLok license, installing, and the first launch. You will see the entire process, so if you are curious, here you go -

I use Windows 8.1 in the video, so the install process is a bit different on Mac, but the basics are the same. :cool:

I didn't realize how many steps you need to go through to download and install PT12.Thanks for the tutorial. Nice job!

Thanks dude. Yeah, quiet a few steps, but pales in comparison to what went into screen capping and editing the video together. Had to re-do all the voice over (PT 12 worked great in doing this by the way), sync to video, and so much blurring personal info out :D

Totally worth it though if it helps some fellow 'DUCers out :-)

And here's a screen shot of the Media Composer session for those interested in such things

Did you try starting a support case?

New feature that Shan pointed out, using WASAPI (your Windows Audio Device)
with Pro Tools. In simple terms, have the sound from Pro Tools come out of your computer speakers (without ASIO4ALL)

Of course I made a video.... :D

One nice thing now in your Avid.com account is the

"Access the Support Center (Portal)"

and then Knowledge Base.

All new articles are there updated :)

Nice one Avid. Thank you.
