Default Pro Tools 9LE Crossgrade Question Somewhat Unique

I've looked over this forum for an answer and couldn't find one, so please accept my apologies if it is already out there.

I have an Mbox II that came with Pro Tools 8 LE. I also have the iLok. My plan is to purchase a different (non Avid) interface that is compatible with Pro Tools 9. I will NOT be selling the Mbox II that 8LE originally shipped with.

Can I use the 8LE to 9 crossgrade path, and use my Mbox II serial number for the 9 crossgrade install, and then subsequently use the other non-Avid interface on my system?

I am afraid that if I use the Mbox II serial number, it will lock in my 8LE to 9 crossgrade exclusively to my Mbox II, and my non avid interface wont work.

Is what I want to do possible?

Thanks!!

I crossgraded an MBox 2 to PT9 and no problems - it's not linked to a specific device. But, where are you seeing a 9 crossgrade to purchase?

I cross graded my 002 to pt9 and now use a ULN-2. No problems whatsoever. The only issue is if you ever do sell the mbox the new owner won't be eligible for any crossgrades.
