Running old AND new on different computers
So i have a mac pro 4,1 with PT 10 running mountain lion, I recently got a MBP running mojave and want to run Pro tools on that as well, I was hoping to use my ilok to bounce between the two, but i'm concerned my license for 10 will be eliminated when i upgrade. It's imperative i keep my old system as the new one will be mainly for mobile work. What's my best course of action, should I just get a new ilok and start over new? Is there a way to upgrade and keep my old version?

keep the System you have Exactly as it is .. i assume your System is Rock Solid !! and buy a new version of pro tools (probably find a deal and get a free iLok) - get the new Metal One, much better .. and your choice of Perpetual or Subscription for PT .. your old iLok will work .. but PT10 will not work on new computer .. my license is for 10,11,12 ... thats what happened when i upgraded .. not sure how it works now .. BUT this license is not able to be Split Up .. cannot use PT10 on one system and PT12 on another at the same time ... would be nice !!! i am sure others will have other ideas for you ...

Re: Running old AND new on different computers
I think the question was not to use two systems at the same time but instead keep using the old and the new systems in two different setups having the same old ilok license. Which works by the way, as long as you are using one system at once

Re: Running old AND new on different computers
^^^ Exactly this, i want to be able use my lap top on the go and do most of the work on the bigger, considerably more powerful machine at home but keep the mac pro OS as is with the ability to swap the ilok between the two.

I think subscription plans only have a PT2019 license asset. The permanent plans - I don't know. I just looked on the Sweetwater site and they're still selling reinstatement plans for $299 but those plans went away at the start of this year. A permanent license license asset plan is $599 for vanilla PT. It looks like you'll be having two separate license assets and if you do I'd get a second iLok and keep the two assets on separate iLoks. And don't forget ZDT insurance at $30/year - it's the cheapest investment that can pay off if you ever have a damaged iLok. And to cover if said iLok gets stolen activate TLC (theft & loss coverage) which is free. |

Re: Running old AND new on different computers
At least usually it is. However if you are touring and have no idea about network (or its costs) good idea to sync before leaving

Re: Running old AND new on different computers
Actually hasn't been a problems for years. A lot of fast food places have free wifi. So do cafes and other places of business and let's not forget libraries where they still exist.
