Does or can Protools First be transferred?

[The Bass Bagwhan]

Hi everyone, for some reason our local high school is selling off a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd Generation that comes bundled with Protools First ... I don't know exactly why they'd bother, but the Principal has contacted me.

They've already installed PTF once, so they must have created an account, etc, correct?

I would expect that the license for PTF can't be transferred to anyone who buys the Focusrite ... or it may be uneconomical to do so. Can anyone give me more information please? I know that you can transfer HD stuff, but I would have thought PTF was too small-fry...

Thanks!

Pro Tools First is free. There’s nothing to transfer. Just download a new copy from the AVID site.

Unless they had a special version for the Scarlett like they used to with M-Powered etc. then I’m not sure why he’s trying to transfer it to you.

Ah ... thanks Sardi, I was beginning to suspect as much. I'm not the one he's selling it to - it's being tendered (FWIW). I've got versions of Protools Express that require an iLok, which is why I was expecting the same. All good! Cheers!

Right, might be simpler to sign up for Pro Tools First.

Check out What's In The Box on the Focusrite page since they include other software and it might be worth finding out if they can transfer that.
