Pro Tools 9 and Yosemite

[flicktime]

Hello, I am having an incredible amount of difficulty installing pro tools 9 onto my MacBook. It tells me that the OS update I am running my MAC on currently is too high. Do I need to downgrade my MAC? How would I do so? I still have the installation discs, but can't find my authorization/ product key to pro tools anywhere, please help!

Pro Tools 9 does not use an authorization code, it requires the Pro Tools 9 iLok license.

Pro Tools 9 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).

Thanks for the response, where is the ILok license number located?

If your Mac came with Yosemite you can't backdate the operating system. You might be able to hack the installer package the same way people who install PT10 on Yosemite do but you're on your own with that and Avid bears no responsibility for it malfunctioning. And even if you do get it installed you'll probably have the same graphics issues people with PT10 are having on Yosemite.
