If you crossgraded from M-Powered 8 to PT9, then your iLok license for 8 was forfeited. If you purchased a full license for PT9, which is what I did, then the license for 8 still exists. I had to do this because I'm running 8 on my Mac G5 and 9 on my MacBook Pro.

I paid full retail as this is my first Pro Tools license, so I never had PT8 m-powered before, but i have a installation disk that can I borrow, would it still work?
