Re: HELPP!!!!
Every PT system comes with a compliment of Digidesign's own "Digirack" plugins and a selection of Bombfactory plugins that get automatically installed along with Pro Tools.
The Ignition Pack includes a bunch of stripped down or "lite" versions of plugins like Live, Amplitube, BFD etc, that while fully functional are really there as an enticement towards buying the fully featured versions.
non of those plugins require an iLok
At an additional cost at the time of your initial purchase (if you so choose to take the option) there are also various " Factory " bundles that comprise various plugins from Bombfactory, Joe Meek, Sansamp etc, and includes a pre-authorized iLok .
The PT disk does however, for the sake of convenience include the installers for the plugins in the "Factory" bundles.
That does not mean that you have the use of them, and is why you are being confronted with authorization prompts each time you launch PT.
You need to either buy the licenses for each individual plugin (very expensive way of doing it vs buying a "factory" bundle) or just uninstall the plugins that require authorizations.
The first thing you should do is to read all the documentation that came with your hardware, to establish which plugins you should have for "free" and which ones are optional extras - though it looks like your purchase of an iLok was unnecessary (for the time being at least).
Good luck.
