Pro Tools 8: Activation code not working/Error: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)
Hello.
I am trying to reinstall my Pro Tools 8. Every time I try to do so, I receive an 'Error: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)'. Looking at other posts on here, it seems that the commonest solution to this is to go to My Digi and dowload from there (rather than from the DVD). However, when I type my activation code (the number beginning DIGI0800 ...) I'm told that 'the code you provided is invalid'. I have registered the product, and I'm typing in the digits very carefully, paying attention to the case and the 0s, and including the spaces. So I really have two groups of questions: (1) Am I right in thinking that I should be able to download Pro Tools again via My Digi? And, if so, what could be going wrong with my code? And, (2) Are there any other solutions to the 'Error: Data Error ...' business that I might try instead? The reason I uninstalled and then attempted to reinstall Pro Tools in the first place was because I couldn't get any playback on Pro Tools. So I feel like the problems are just multiplying! Really frustrating, as I'm desperate to get back onto my Pro Tools projects. I'd be really grateful for any advice. On a more general note, this is my first posting on here, but I've been on the community threads as a non-member a tonne of times, and have found various threads really useful. So, thank you too, for that! Matt |

Re: Pro Tools 8: Activation code not working/Error: Data Error (cyclic redundancy che
If you've previously registered it then it should already be listed as a download in your MyAvid account. All you should need to do is sign in and look for the download link.

Re: Pro Tools 8: Activation code not working/Error: Data Error (cyclic redundancy che
Thanks for the swift reply, Scott! Pro Tools doesn't appear under My Downloads. However, after speaking to Avid registration, they're sending me a link that will allow me to download it. Its not being there had something to do with purchasing it on a disc in the first place (rather than as a download) or something ... but it looks like this issue is about to be resolved.
Next: onto fixing the problem with the sound! Thanks again for your help. Matt |
