HEAT (Harmonically enhanced Algorithm Technology)

[soulipsist]

Hello,

I hope somebody can help me.

I got a PT9HD system on an older Intel Mac Pro from around 2008.
Now I just baught HEAT, activated it, so now it shows up registered on my Avid account and I also transferred it already to my iLok (newer version).

Nevertheless everything looks fine so far, when launching Pro Tools I get a message that I need to renew my HEAT activation (there is an old trial version on my iLok account I might have had installed but never used, hmm) bacause the trial period expired! (?) I double-checked my ilok account and yes there is an expired trial version of HEAT AND the regular HEAT activation on the iLok. I looked for a way to delete that trial version entry but there seems to be no way. But that shouldnt be a problem anyway.

I download HEAT from my Avid account, installed it and thought that should work (version 10.2 I think). But no, seems to only work with PT10 I guess. I deleted it from the plug-ins folder and installed an older version that came with the Pro Tools 9.0.5 full installer (I have 9.0.6 installed but there's only a 9.0.5 full installer available to download) , same same.

What am I missing here? Or getting wrong? How do I activate HEAT properly on my PTHD9.06 system? I mean I can install it and I have a valid activation on my ilok. But I still get the pop-up window when launching PT?!? Why doesnt PT see I got it activated? Please, anyone, any idea?

Have you downloaded the latest iLok License Manager from www.iLok.com ?

If not, do that, then follow the Sync & Repair instructions on the Known Issues page:
https://www.ilok.com/knownissues.html

That should remove expired trial versions from the actual iLok, although it will still show up on your account.

Also, what is your HD hardware setup?

Hi Bruce,
Yes the License Manager should be uptodate. But thank you for the idea with that known issues page. I'll check that out tonight. :)

My hardware setup is a HD3 TDM system running on a ~2008 MacPro, Software is PTHD9.0.6 on OSX Lion. The step over to a new PT11 system is currently not an option for me. I'm only rec/mixing my band and some ideas, time's too short for more currently but it's great to have such a setup at home and I wouldnt want to miss it :)

HEAT Drive setting... 10 oclock or 2 oclock? I just started using it. Im setting the drive at 10 and the tone at 2 for a rock mix. That sound right? Overall, very pleasing but now I feel I lost too much high end.

Lost? I think you get more high end the more "right" you turn the tone knob... Careful with the drive knob, don't overdo it.

Yea true the tone toward the right adds high end. Dont get me wrong, I like the sound of it. Just wondering about others opinions on the drive knob setting. The posts Ive read suggest keeping it at 10 oclock.

hit the arrow on the right bottom of the mix window and a lane will appear with the adjustment knobs.. I had to purchase heat separate from hd.. never knew it was included..was always an add on.. unless it's changed
