Default S6L Protools

Mixing on an S6L and wanting to start multi tracking shows.
I have PT 12.6 native, which from what I have read that will give me 32 tracks via my MacBook Pro using thunderbolt/ether adapter.

What is required for 64 tracks? I see mention of the Avid Live Sound Production toolkit, but cant find any info other than it comes with S6L systems. Is this something I can purchase to use with PT native.
Is my only option to upgrade to PT HD to get the higher recording channel capacity?

I am not carrying the S6L on tour, but picking them up locally.

The live production toolkit is a license that follows the consoles. The owner will have one. It is easier for you to track with another daw and later import the wav files to PT. Tracks Live from Waves for instance will easily track 64 inputs.

If tracking with another DAW, such as Waves Live with an S6L what else is required?
Any specific drivers? Does it still work via the Mac Thunderbolt to Ether adapter and then Ether to the S6L surface?

No drivers needed. I believe the only thing the live production toolkit does is open up more i/o for PT native when connected to a venue. So I would guess PTHD license would do the same thing, since it is not limited in the number of i/o like the native version is.

Do you still interface the DAW, Waves live, via the Ether port on the console or is it via Madi and a switch like a Sound grid server?

The only thing you lose when not using PT is VenueLink - including creating session from Venue, markers, and transport control from the console. Otherwise any software on the Mac can access AVB audio to/from S6L/S3L.
