Pro Tools Ultimate Trial on a new computer not possible
I have a new computer and I would like to try if PT-Ultimate runs on it. I've already downloaded the trial for my old Mac one year ago but it didn't work because the computer was not supported. I even wasn't able to install the PT Ultimate trial. So I have never used it.
Today I wanted to try it on my new Mac but I can't download it, because it says that it is expired? How is this possible when I never could install the trial one year ago? Is there a way to download this trial again? Does anyone has the same experience? Because before I buy it for the money I really like to test it first. |

Re: Pro Tools Ultimate Trial on a new computer not possible
The Protools trial authorizations are done via iLok license. If you already had one in your account, then you won't be able to get another one until Avid releases the previous trial authorization from your account, which they may or may not do.
You'll have to send a request to Avid Support to ask if they will authorize another trial license for you.

Re: Pro Tools Ultimate Trial on a new computer not possible
I also downloaded the Ultimate trial, and installed on my MBP 2018, and upon opening it only ever opens as standard protools, and my track counts as everything else is just that PT standard, even the download link isn't named ultimate is this an oversight on Avids end,? if so they nee to change it, because trials are expiring and we cant use t to see if its feasible to purchase. But the point is they offer a Trial for a uber expensive program that is not compatible, nor available to many users, so how are we to get this to function

Re: Pro Tools Ultimate Trial on a new computer not possible
Standard and Ultimate are same software, only difference being the license that unlocks Ultimate features. Check the splash screen, it says Ultimate if you have it.
Track counts should be Ultimate track counts as well, but if you do not have Avid hardware you are limited to 32 i/o even if you have Ultimate.

Re: Pro Tools Ultimate Trial on a new computer not possible
Take a look at your iLok Licence Manager then, the trial license bundle must have (time-limited) "Pro Tools Ultimate Perpetual" license in it. If this is not the case, contact Avid Support and ask them to fix your license and also reset the expiration day so you have full 30 days.
