Default Pro Tools HD Standalone??

Where can we get Pro Tools 9 HD software(only)?
I would like to use PT HD as a standalone on my pc with an inbuilt sound card and asio drivers.
Is this possible?

I believe in order to get the actual HD software, you have to buy the upgrade which requires you to have a previous auth and at least a core card. You can purchase ver 9 and the complete production toolkit and gain 99% of the HD features with out of course any TDM.

The "HD" part implies you are using classic (or newer Native) Digidesign I/O adapters and HD hardware. If you don't own this hardware at all then what you want is just called "Pro Tools 9". You buy a Pro Tools 9 software license at a retailer or on Avid.com. And you will need an iLok dongle and account on iLok.com to get that software running. If you own one you may be able to use a qualifying existing Pro Tools LE or M-Powered hardware based license to upgrade. But I suspect from the question you may be new to Pro Tools. Given the ~$600 price of the software you may also want to consider buying a Digidesign/Avid interface with a bundled Pro Tools license (and upgrading that to 9.0 if needed which will give you the option of using stand alone or with that interface).

Depending on your sound card and what you want to do but many sound card mic inputs are pretty horrible.

[And technicality the license for a Pro Tools HD setup will revert to plain Pro Tools 9 (with the extra bells and whistles of the CPTK option) if used stand alone. ]

As stated above the “Complete Production Toolkit” and “PT9” together give you the same system as HD when both are used with 3rd party hardware.

Or you can buy a used PCI HD Core card on eBay with a previous version of Pro Tools HD, then purchase the upgrade to Pro Tools 9 HD. Then you have all the features of PT9 with the CPT when you install it on a non-HD system, and you can get it for quite a bit less than buying Pro Tools 9 and the Complete Production Toolkit separately.
