PT 5.31 TDM Plugins Crashing Bug ****

[David Correia]

A few days ago some, not all, of my copy protected TDM plugins - Autotune 3.10, Maxim, Focusrite D2, Brune-Reso, D-Fi, & Reveb One - would not load stating:

"Your clock is set to a date that is inconsistent w/the release date of {e.g.} AT TDM 3.10.

Press Cancel ...
Press Ok to ignore & continue."

When I press Ok to use the plugin, it crashes Pro Tools. The date on the Mac is in fact correct. The problem is not the PRAM battery. Other protected TDM software (Waves Renn Plugs, UAD) load and work fine. ** And if I set the date back to last year, all the plugs in again works fine. **

This HD2 TDM system with Pro Tools 5.31 has always worked flawlessly.

btw it will play back previously automated Autotuned tracks. It only crashes when I select one of the above plugs to open it. I sent a note to Antares but haven't heard back yet.

Any help appreciated. This must be some odd copy protection software bug.

(As to why I haven't upgraded - I know many here may look down their noses at anyone still using GASP older software - well, my fave processing gear is my analog outboard gear. And this version of PT - at least before this incident - crashed about twice a year.)

Thanks.

clearing the PRAM might help

it may be a date bug that just came due, I don't think anyone is going to fix a code bug this old
