Expand!2 Plugin missing on Windows

[markcofano]

I am new to DAWs but very experienced technically. I paid for an intro to another DAW and found that it freezes and crashes constantly. I have spent hours trying to remedy that problem.

I have downloaded and installed Avid Protools Intro on my Windows 10 computer. I am unable to follow the tutorials. The program reports that the "Expand" plugin is not available.

I have searched the web, the avid website and the forum. I have been unable to find a way to download it and then install it.

The most recent post is:

It suggests that I open the Avid Market place, navigate to plugins and download Expand. This plugin is not listed.

I have looked at many other posts dating back to 2011.

My hope is that I can get started with AVID and at least run tutorials without a massive investment of time.

Thanks in advance for any other assistance.
