Default Pro tools LE 8.0 "Required software extensions are missing."

About 6 years ago I bought pro tools 8 and it ran great on my mac book pro, which I bought new about 7 years ago. I stopped playing music and using protools for roughly 5 years, just yesterday I tried to run pro tools and I get this message. I have never had issues with PT on this laptop and the only difference I can think of since it ran correctly, is the OSX changes and updates, and updates to how AVID runs their products and licensing.

The MBOX 2 does not light up at any point (I can't remember if it required PT to be running before the lights powered on).

I get the message,

"Required software extensions are missing."

"Click the "OK" button, and you will be transferred to the PACE web site where an installer can be downloaded."

When I get redirected to the PACE page is says the things have moved and the page is no longer there. I have tried to research this on my own and I am still confused.

1) Is this problem occurring because all versions of PT (including 8) now require "ilok"?

2) Does my version of OSX 10.9.5 support PT 8 and MBOX 2 (this is my hardware)?

I tried uninstall/reinstall and the same issue occurs.
Also tried upgrading to PT version 8.0.5, same issue occurs.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
