Run plugins without installing???
I use PT10 on Mac at work. I do not have administrator permission to install some of my personally-owned plugins (which I use at home on my personal computer). Is there a way to run these plugins on my work computer without installing them? Maybe from a flash drive?

Re: Run plugins without installing???
you might be able to drop them into the proper folder but most likely, no that would defeat the purpus of having an Administrator

Re: Run plugins without installing???
Question coming from a PC guy; would it be possible for the OP to carry an external drive with the complete OS, Pro Tools and his plugins? Just wondering as I knew that Macs can run from an external system drive

Run plugins without installing???
And for places already worried about people touching things booting a new OS image on a computer is likely to be very unwelcome. It can let you bypass security/access controls on that computer. If you need tools to work and things are holding you back, discuss those issues with your employer. There may be good reasons why they do this, or things you can do to get admin privilages, or possibly get an admin to install the plugins for you (but the downside there is risking destabilizing production systems for all users, or just having lots of junk show up that is not usable), or maybe it's better to bring in a personal laptop, ... or good reasons why you should find some place else to work.

You could install them on a flash drive and then create symbolic links that point to them, but as the plugin library is in /Library you would need to have admin account to create the links. So yes, if you have admin account -- and no, if you don't have [admin account] there is no way.
