ProTools SE installation without CD drive

[phatpanda10]

I just purchased an M-Audio Nova condenser mic and ProTools SE, which comes with it. The problem is, my laptop does not have a CD drive. Is there any way I can download it by redeeming a code or something?

When you register at Avid.com you will get access to replacement download(s) to the software you register

I have never heard of the Nova mic being compatible with Pro Tools SE software. These are the only products that I know of that are compatible, and the only mic was the Producer USB included with Avid KeyStudio according to the Knowledge Base:

Pro Tools SE - Latest News, Updates, Tutorials, FAQ's, and more!

Interface Compatibility:

• Fast Track (included with Avid Recording Studio)
• USB Micro (included with Avid KeyStudio)
• Producer USB (included with Avid Vocal Studio)
• MobilePre (includes Pro Tools SE software)
• Fast Track Pro
• Fast Track Ultra
• Fast Track Ultra 8R

The M-Audio Nova does not have any USB connection to a computer, so it would not be something that could be used by Pro Tools SE as a required interface.

Did you maybe buy this used or on eBay and the seller just included the Pro Tools SE software disk as a bonus, not realizing you couldn't use it?

Do you have an audio interface already? If not, there is no reason to try to install Pro Tools SE at all.
