Hi Everyone,
Happily joining the PT community.

Yes. As stated on the PT11 trial page:

• You must have a second-generation USB iLok...

El Capitan support was added in 12.3, so 11.x is not recommended. Our Pro Tools Operating System Compatibility Chart shows which versions are supported.

any focus rite capable version of PT and its trial I can use on EC without the physical iLok?

Welcome to the forum Yes, you need an iLok 2 to run the trial(they put a licence in your account with an expiration date). Can't help on the OS question, but the link above called Additional Resources will(if you can follow the navigation) take you to a compatibility page showing which versions of PT work with which versions of OSX. And for the record, LE is an obsolete term(version 8 was the last to have an "LE" version)
