PT8 fresh install
I've searched the forum and while I see hints I can't find an answer to an easy question. Is the boxed version of PT8 LE which is labeled as an upgrade functional as a stand alone version? Can I put it on a Mac that's never had PT on it? It seems that I can based on some references to removing prior versions. But if that's the case, why is it called an upgrade whereas the M powered version (which sells for $100 more) is not called an upgrade?

Re: PT8 fresh install
It is a standalone installer, no previous version needed.
It is just semantics as to weather it should be called an "upgrade" or not.. Since it has a bunch of new features, upgrade is fine with me...

Re: PT8 fresh install
Thanks.
Any idea why PT8 M-powered is $250 whereas LE is only $150?

Re: PT8 fresh install
That first link to M-Powered is for the full version installer that includes the iLok key.
The upgrade from a previous version should be $149 - it requires that you have the full version as you have to surrender your previous version iLok license when you upgrade to Pro Tools 8. Here's a link to the upgrade on the Digistore: Pro Tools M-Powered Upgrade on the Digistore The second is, indeed, an upgrade to Pro Tools LE 8.

Re: PT8 fresh install
So is Digi ever going to sell a version of PT8 LE on disc that I can install on a Mac that has never had PT on it? The download doesn't interest me.
I already have PT LE 7.3 on a PC.

Re: PT8 fresh install
I think it is already available at the Digi store, but it costs you $30 extra. I'm not happy about that, either.
I have heard that is is available at resellers, but haven't checked prices..
