Default Re: Why do we have to buy a $50 dongle that isn't needed?

I agree, There used to be a PT 'Free' version which didn't require a dongle so I believe it could be done again.

Maybe Avid see this as a way to manipulate ones decision to buy full version of Pro Tools.

I disagree with this statement though because if one decides to buy full version, an iLok is necessary anyway.
