The Great Confusion: installing PT 11 AIR packages or AIR PT 12 ?
I am reinstalling all my system - on fresh OSX 10.11.6
Rather than installing my PT 11 ''Perpetual Licence'', I chosed to install my PT 12.8.x yearly subscription. However, I am not paying for the annual Plug-In subscription. In my Products page, I see: - AIR Creative Collection 11.3.1 (under Pro Tools Legacy) (where I also have PT 11.3.2 installer). - AIR Instruments Bundle 12.0 installer, and under PT - No Contract: - Air Creative Collection 11.1 installer So, assuming I do not have a subscription for the annual plug-in, and I do not intend to add it in the future: can I / should I install the first one under PT 12.8.1 ? Or would I install the one for PT 12 (in other words, is it linked to an annual subscription ?) Thanks, Rob

Pro Tools 12.8.1 includes AIR Instruments Bundle 12.0 Installer (Mac) 1.06 GB - this includes: AIR Mini Grand, Boom, Structure Free, DB-33, Vacuum Plus: Xpand II 12.0 Installer (Mac) 1.12 GB AIR Xpand II Plus: AIR Effects Bundle 12.0 Installer (Mac) 123.66 MB - this includes: AIR Chorus AIR Ensemble AIR Flanger AIR Multi-Chorus AIR Phaser AIR Reverb AIR Non-LinearReverb AIR SpringReverb AIR Multi-Delay AIR DynamicDelay AIR FrequencyShifter AIR StereoWidth AIR Distortion AIR Fuzz-Wah AIR Lo-Fi AIR Enhancer AIR KillEQ AIR VintageFilter AIR FilterGate AIR Talkbox Quote:

You can renew your PT12 subscription (without the bonus plug-ins) when it's due - or you can choose to install your PT11 (Perpetual) - with its appropriate AIR installers. Here's some more info on the Avid plug-in bundles - which are a different deal from the bonus plug-ins: http://www.avidblogs.com/new-plug-in...tools-hd-12-2/ Hope this helps!

One point though: in the past, I had purchased XPand2! (guess it was not part of the bundle then), and now I did not realize it was in this PT12 package and reinstalled it. Someone (you ?) pointed to use a link to request for an activation number (as it is now ''iLokable'' and the activation code I have no longer work... That page states I should get a code within 10 minutes but I tried it twice and never got it... ) Should I simply reinstall this version here on top ? - thing is: I am also using it under Cubase.... If I install the version that comes with PT12 would I still see it under Cubase ?

VST version for Cubase:

As you made a separate XPand2! purchase, it probably includes the VST version. Quote:
If you check and find you were actually using the correct email address (which did not work) - please email Simon Bangs from inMusic Brands: [email protected] Simon is excellent at sorting things out quickly. AAX version for Pro Tools: Use the Xpand II 12.0 Installer (Mac) 1.12 GB in your Avid account.

Thanks again ! I have found that email and sent it to Simon - will let you know how things go. Fortunately, I have both purchases on that order (The Riser and XPand2) and as I had no issue reinstalling and reactivating The Riser with the code in there, that confirms these were the codes I received.
Many thanks for your precious assistance.

- launching a project that contains XPand tracks (either in Cubase or Pro Tools 12.8.1) it tells me the plug-in is not present in plug-in folder ! - I installed XPand2! simply double-clicking, went with the default installation...). Same as I did with The Riser (I have no issue at all with The Riser)... If I launch the project (okaying that I do not have these plug-ins), if I try to go to that track and click on the XPand2! insert in PT, I still get that message...

Perhaps you are installing the wrong plug-in format? The AAX version of XPand!2 is included with Pro Tools. Click on your Pro Tools Annual Upgrade Plan in my.avid.com/products, then click Show next to Product Details and Download Links, then click the Xpand II 12.0 Installer (Mac) 1.12 GB link to download it.

Go to Pro Tools>Setup>Preferences>Operation>User Library
Set the Root: C:\Users\User Name\Documents\Pro Tools\ In Windows: The Default Location for the Xpand!2 Presets Folder is in the 32-bit Program Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\AIR Music Technology\Xpand!2\Presets Copy the Presets Folder and place it in: C:\Users\User Name\My Documents\Pro Tools\Plug-In Settings Change Folder’s name from Presets to Xpand!2 User Presets: Create a Folder in C:\Users\User Name\My Documents\Pro Tools\Plug-In Settings\Xpand!2 for your User Presets and name it: 30 User Check to see if you’ve also got a (Creative Collection) Xpand2 Folder (Xpand2 - without the exclamation mark). If so, you can also transfer your Xpand2 User Presets to your 30 User Folder. Choosing Xpand2 Content Location (on installing, I placed it on my Samples drive) - don't double-click on the Xpand2 Folder - just a single-click will reveal the BIG File. If you want to track down plug-in settings after the fact, it is possible to use the Mac Finder or Windows Explorer to move and copy the plug-in settings files. The Session Plug-ins Setting folder is easy to track down, as it will be in a folder called Plug-in Settings inside your session folder, along with Audio Files, Session File Backups, and so on. The Root Plug-ins Settings folder is harder to find. On a Mac in Pro Tools 10 and below, it is Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-in Settings. Within this folder, each plug-in has its own subfolder. On Windows machines, the location is C:/Program Files/Common Files/Digidesign/DAE/Plug-in Settings, and again, each plug-in has its own folder.

It's not part of the Plug-ins plan, and doesn't need an iLok license. It's included with Pro Tools so you can install the 12.0 (AAX) version from your Pro Tools Annual Upgrade Plan. (Please see my previous post.) Pro Tools and Cubase use different plug-in formats. Please install the AAX version for Pro Tools.
