Plug-In Authorization Error on Startup

[jjryan]

Let me start by saying I just bought a new IMac. I also bought a MBox 2 Mini with PT8 at the same time. After installing Firefox I went to install PT8. I made the mistake of not plugging in the MBox at the correct point by missing a step in the instructions and tried to launch PT without the MBox hooked up. I then had issues getting it to authorize so after installing PT and installing all the plugins I uninstalled PT. I reinstalled 2-3 more times with no success following the steps exactly as suggested.

I'm now on install 4 or 5 and now the program launches successfully. I have had some freezing while loading at various points though. I'm getting the following message regarding some plugins. Are these not included for free with PT8 or are they and I'm doing something wrong? If I select Authorize it says the Ilok is missing or something like that.

Here's the list:

WELCOME TO THE DUCZ

Thanks for the response. I wasn't sure but wanted to be sure before I moved them to the not used folder. I'm moving from Adobe Audition and Mac at the same time so everything has been a slight learning curve here. I didn't receive and ilok in the box so that makes sense now.

I'm updating to 8.0.3 now so hoping that fixes my stability issues.
