Free Trial version of 12?
I installed the demo version of 11 and can't get it to work on my machine. I'd like to try 12 and see if it works before delving any further into a painful troubleshooting exercise but the Free Trial link only offers 11.
Anyone know how to get a try-before-you-buy trial license for 12? |

Re: Free trial version of 12?
you have an ilok right? if not, then its a $50 trial, because thats how much the ilok costs
or you can wait for pro tools first to get a bit of an idea of 12, but like a small idea, without an ilok |

I don't understand what that has to do with finding a link to download a demo of PT12HD, but in case it helps: MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2009 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM NVidia GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB 1TB SATA SSD System Drive (Crucial BX100) 2TB SATA 5400 RPM HDD (Samsung M9T) Using built-in audio via headphone jack for testing Do you know off the top of your head if a demo version of 12 is available for download? Thanks! |

Re: Free trial version of 12?
At the present time, the only way to demo PT12 is to buy a one month subscription.
However, there is little difference between the 11 and 12. Any particular reason why you need to try 12?

In this case, taking the analogy further, I've tried to test drive 11 but the car wouldn't start. I've looked around the dealership for help, but it appears the only avenue available is to pay the service department to put the car up on the hoist. It seems to me that Avid should WANT to help me get it working, because doing so results in them getting my money on an ongoing basis. Quote:
My hope is that 12 overcomes whatever is preventing 11 from working on my particular rig. The quickest and easiest way to find out is to install it and try it, but I'm not prepared to buy it before knowing if it will work with my particular setup. If not, there are plenty of alternatives that will. |

Re: Free trial version of 12?
Good luck in getting it all working. It may be possible for you to get a free one month subscription if your contact at Avid (who says 12 should work for you) has the pull.
I haven't seen any "What's New" postings about PT12 so it's hard to imagine what has been improved. The hood is locked down. I don't know if the free product will be ported to 12. It may be some time since it is a new product.

Re: Free trial version of 12?
Thanks! I'm really hoping I can, because I'd rather not have to learn a new system and sacrifice the ability to easily open old sessions. For all I know, other apps may now be better than Pro Tools, but inertia being what it is, I don't want to expend the energy to find out unless I have to! :)
Now that's an interesting idea. I don't actually have a contact at Avid per se -- I've only spoken to our Chief Engineer, not whoever he's dealing with at Avid, but maybe he can put in me in touch. |

Re: Free trial version of 12?
Nope. Runs too close to violating our Code of Business Conduct which says it's unethical to use my position as as employee to ask vendors for personal favours. I'm inclined to agree. While this may not actually BE unethical, it's important that we not give the APPEARANCE of crossing the line.
