Default Pro tools 12.6.1 error when loading [solved]

System DetailsEdit Value
Dell inspiron 3847
intel core i5 4460 cpu3.20ghz
windows 10
8 gig ram


up dated from 12.5 to 12.6.1 today as well as new I.lok perpetual license.

Pro tools load screen comes up then I get a fatal error message that
pro tools perpetual cannot be loaded please contact the software developer for support.
error details
import dll
mfc120u.dll
cannot be loaded

Tried uninstalling12.6.1 and reinstalling 12.5 and now I get the same error on 12.5
I suspect it has to do with the ilok license but i can't figure out how to fix the problem

If you read the release notes it states that PT12.6 and up requires a replacement licence on the ilok. Go to the ilok website and you will see that you surrender your current licence bundle for the new one. I had no problems doing this.

Sorry my post should have said upgraded from 12.6 to 12.6.1 today
I could load the first version of 12.6
I have an annual contact not set to expire till next March.
I don't see any way to surrender that contract to the perpetual one

Working like a charm now. Avid tech support did a remote session and it turned out to be a corrupted micro soft file during the download. So far no bugs or crashes either.
