Default Re: What is the best PT10 version?

If it's purely for the purpose of converting sessions that have SDII files, then you could do one of two things.

1. Install PT10 alongside your new version on the newer OS. They can co-exist, and it will function, but the menus & plug-in menus will behave erratically. For your purpose this does not matter. Also, the Un-Installer will not work. If you want to remove it, you'll have to delete each file manually.

2. Run the older Mac OSX 10.9.5 in a virtual machine such as VirtualBox(free) or VMWare Fusion.

Either way, simply load your SDII session into PT10, Save Copy In, and choose your save parameters. Close out, and open your newly converted session in PT12 etc.

As musicman pointed out, you will still need your old PT10 iLok license for it to do this basic conversion function. Avid should have really addressed this with a conversion utility back when they dropped SDII conversion support altogether.
