Default Re: Pro Tools 2020.5 Won't Recognize Omni

On the Ultimate side, nothing really changed, it's just a marketing rename of HD.

"Essential"? no, non-HD or non-Ultimate mainstream Pro Tools has been pretty much called Pro Tools standard or just "Pro Tools" since version 9 did away with Pro Tools LE.

On the Digilink licenses side yes it was a confusing thing a few years ago. Not very well handled and lots of folks here have been confused by that... but as jeffro pointed out that is not your main problem. Again you can search on DUC and find out all about it. If you upgrade to Pro Tools Ultimate as you should have you might (see Jeffro comment later) get a Digilink License included with your upgrade. As with all this stuff... if you are not sure ask a dealer like Sweetwater or VintageKing, they know this stuff backwards.

If it's not an Ultimate license then anything else is irrelevant. You can't use Digilink at all, just the same as you could never use a TDM/DSP card, HD native or HDX based system with Pro Tools LE or Pro Tools standard.

Hopefully you can see if you can return your wrong purchase and buy the real upgrade you needed.
