Validation Key issue
Hey! I've got a Mbox 2 + pro tools le 8 off of my teachers when i back when i studied. it was a physical copy of pro tools and it worked great for my old comp.
Now i got a new laptop and tried to install pro tools on it, tho i do not have a DVD/CD driver, so i can not install it via the disk. So i browsed the forums here and someone linked a digital copy of pro tools le 8. I installed it and everything seems like it works properly but now it's asking me for a validation code. I have no memory of having to use a validation key when installing it with the cd, but that might just be my memory failing me, anyway, i can't seem to find this validation key, it said it was supposed to start with digi0800 something - on the avid site, but i've searched through the mbox-box and also the cd-case/wallet but find nothing. Is it possible to get a digital version of the validation key by giving up the SN on the casing or something? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! - John |

in 8 I think it was on the inside cover of the manual if it's a new computer with W10, it's not compatible you would be better off going over to Sweetwater and using the SN to upgrade to the 10/11/12 combo bundle

Re: Validation Key issue
Well i have windows 8.
But i still have to buy another copy if i upgrade to 10/11 or 12, right? It feels stupid paying for something when i alrdy own a copy. |

Re: Validation Key issue
Pro Tools is very OS specific and you bought second hand w/o doing a Transfer of Ownership.
Had you done a TOO you would have the activation code in your account at Avid.com you can do this http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PT11LEup-e or buy outright http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PTSoftUSP
