Does that mean you used to have Snow Leo installed and you did the upgrade to Lion yourself? If so, shame on you.

If you bought a new Lion-only computer from a dealer and you told them what you'd be using it for, shame on them.

Tell us what kind of computer it is and we'll see if we can help. If it's a Lion-only model, I'd get on the phone or go down to your dealer and give them an earful and demand a refund, because you've got no other option than to wait it out. You're most likely going to be waiting at least several more weeks - and most likely a lot longer - for a qualified PT Lion release, and then when it does come out you're basically making yourself and your 'new business' a beta tester, which is hardly professional.

If you're really trying to run a real business, get yourself a Snow Leo machine and accept that you're going to be running PT9 on 10.6.x until at least Thanksgiving, and more likely Christmas or beyond depending on how many plug-in vendors etc. you'll be waiting on in addition to PT support.

For comparison's sake, the majority of pro facilities are still running PT8, so that should give you an idea of the rate of adoption for new software for real businesses that rely on Pro Tools for their income.
