Pro Tools 7 download for 8 owners?

[bowgraham]

I've searched for this but been unable to find the answer. If I purchase an Mbox 2 or something which ships with Pro Tools 8, can I download the pro tools 7 software to use with my G5 OSX 10.4.11?

I've looked online and all I can find are 7.x updates, not the actual software...

Cheers.

If u already ave PT then that means u have a version 7(unless ur still on v6)

with that said, u would just log into ur Divi/Avid account & download ur purchased version...

Thanks for the reply, I don't own any version of Pro Tools at the moment.

What I meant was that if I purchase an Mbox or something that comes with Pro Tools 8, can I register it but download and use Pro Tools 7.4 as I'm still using a OS 10.4 G5 for the moment?

I think you would need a separate S/N for 7.x as well. At least I got two different ones for PT 7 and the PT 8 upgrade. Why not buy some used gear with "old" Pro Tools 7 when you want to use some "old, used" Mac?

I faced similar problem back in PT6 times and I needed PT5 for my MacOS 9 system (PT6 was OSX only). I had PT6.4.2 or so copy with my original Mbox. I e-mailed Digi and got both PT 5 and a new serial number. It was fast and painless. So contacting them doesn't hurt.

Man I think we need a sticky thread "When Digi was really nice to me" to compensate for all the bashing... Then again I guess this might have been proposed before.
