PTLE 8.0.4 and Purple MC77 hangs at startup?
so I received a Purple MC77 transferred to my iLok account (yes, it was an eBay purchase...). I've followed the KB articles that say not to use the 8.0 plugin updates (these ask for a license card or a challenge/response code - I did originally try this). Then I installed the 7.4 Classic Compressors update. Now when I startup Pro Tools 8.0.4, it gets to loading the plugins, shows "Purple Audio MC77" and hangs there. Actually, originally it hung at the BF-2A plug, but I then moved that to my unused plugins folder and now it hangs on the MC77.
So, I have a valid ilok license (see link below). I believe I have the correct plugin (7.4) but its not working. I've even moved every other plugin to the unused folder and it still hangs here. I noticed that it installed a second copy of the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable . it installed 8.0.56336 and I already had version 8.0.59193 installed. so I uninstalled the older version but it didn't seem to make a difference. I also have the x64 version of this library installed (v8.0.56336) since this is 64-bit Windows 7. My PACE drivers are at 5.8.1.2 (I believe updated by the Waves installer). I see there is later version (5.8.13.3234) so I will try that next. Does anyone else have the MC77 working on x64 Windows 7 and PTLE 8.0.4? http://sites.google.com/site/mkosace...ale-1/ilok.jpg

Mine works in 8.0.4 and 8.0.3/4b. In W7/64 Pro. Although I seldom use it.

I tried the latest Pace drivers but that did not make a difference. Still hangs as soon as it hits the v7.4 MC77 plugin.
Not sure about HD, but I think this is a native licnese right ? So probably the same issue. does your hang Pro Tools (like mine does) when it starts up, or just doesn't load or won't authorize? TOM@METRO -- which plugin package did you install to get it to work? Mike

I purchased the $35. upgrade to the factory pro bundle. It gave me new ilok licenses and versions but I don't remember exactly what they were. I'm not at the studio computer now.

Re: PTLE 8.0.4 and Purple MC77 hangs at startup?
yes, I tried those links. At first I installed the v8 package. It loaded and prompted me to authorize which is when I re-read the article there and realized that I probably need the 7.4 plugin since I don't have a license card or challenge/response code - just a iLok license.
So I uninstalled the v8 plugins and installed the 7.4 instead. now, when it tries to load the plugin it just hangs and Pro Tools never completes loading. If I uninstall the 7.4 plug (Classic Compressors) then everything boots fine again, but no MC77 plugin. Is there a way to "upgrade" my iLok license to the 8.0 version so I can use those plugins (they at least try to load and don't hang the system)? thanks, Mike
