Default Using different Mboxes with the same Pro Tools

I recently grabbed a MacBook Pro to give myself the option of a mobile rig. My question is, can I get an Mbox 2(3) mini for my MacBook to make my mobile rig more portable? I know I can't run two machines simultaneously off one license, I just want to be able to "pick up and go" when I need to without having to lug the full size Mbox 2 everywhere. I'd obviously be picking one up used so what all would I need to make sure I get from the seller?

Hi,

Yeh no problem, the software will work with any compatible Mbox. if its working now with one Mbox then any other Mbox 2/3 will also work with nothing extra needed as you already have the software authorised with your first Mbox

Not knowing what version of Pro Tools your running all will warn that I/O naming constancy is paramount

There's no registration or other paperwork I'll need when buying one second hand?
