Default Buying used hardware, need software.

Hi,

Quick question that I can't seem to locate the answer to. I have the opportunity to pick up a Mbox Mini but the current (original) owner tells me that they have lost the software that shipped with it. What are the chances that I will be able to download a legal copy of Pro Tools LE and any additional software that would have been included with the mini?

Thanks!

Hi,

Did the owner register it with Avid and has he got the registration code?

Good question. Can I use the hardware without using Pro Tools?

With the proper driver, you should be able to use it with most any DAW software.

you would need the driver for not using Pro Tools but that is downloadable

That said, unless it's stupid cheap ($10) there are better option to be had
