Hi,

Hope you're well and might be able to point me in the right direction.

My specs are as follows.

Specs:
Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4
M-Audio Ozonic FireWire 1814

Overview:
Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leopard
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache: 12 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP31.006C.B05
SMC Version: 1.25f4
Serial Number: G88203GLXYL

Problem:
For some reason my Pro Tools M-Powered is only recognizing the old ilok license (7.3) which is the original one it came with but since then I updated it to 7.4 and it worked fine for months, but now it isn't.

I have downloaded the latest versions of the ilok client software and driver and restarted the mac but when I load up Pro Tools it still only says version 7.4. If I try to open a resent project an error message pops up saying, "This session file was created by a newer version of Pro Tools [7.4.2f109] and may contain data which will be ignored by the installed version of Pro Tools. Please refer to http://www.digidesign.com/session_versions for detailed information."
Of course I've tried visiting this link but it doesn't work.

Is it most likely that the ilok is broken or something? I have contacted iLok but they insist it is a Pro Tools issue.

What can I do to resolve the situation? Any help is much appreciated as I'm a composer trying to get back to work.

Thanks again in advance!
Oli Godfrey

I'm not familiar with that particular message. On an off chance have you installed whatever the latest version of 7.4 is?

cheers.

Yeh I installed the updates and the ilok version of 7.4 etc and it worked for me all last year fine. Now it strangely has just not let me and i haven't done anything different, just turned it on again the next morning :-/
