Avid Plugins Tier 2 Installation
At some point over the last few years as I went from Subscription based Pro Tools to Perpetual I had two plugin vouchers from Avid that I redeemed. I chose the Pro Limiter and the ClassicComp + Fairchild. I've attached a screen shot of these in my account.
What I don't understand is how these plugins are updated to newer builds. As an example, in the last week I updated Pro Tools from 2021.12 to 2022.4. Are the Avid plugins I own updated at that time or are they separate installations? How can I determine what versions I am using? If they are separate installs how do I go about getting the installers? I've included from my Avid account a screen shot of the "Avid Complete Plug-In Bundle" with installers. I see the Classic Compressor dmg but does that include the Pro Limiter, Fairchild and the ClassicComp?

On Mac, you can go to the plugins folder (Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Avid > Audio > Plug-Ins (AAX)) and right-click the plugin and choose Get Info and it will tell you the version. Quote:
Classic Compressors includes the Fairchild plugins. The Pro Limiter is part of the Pro Series Bundle.

Re: Avid Plugins Tier 2 Installation
Or even easier on a Mac get Pete Gates PT Prefs utility and it will tell you the versions of every plugin installed. Easy Peazy. Copy and paste into a spreadsheet and use that spreadsheet to help manage keeping all your Avid and third party plugins up to date.
(and Avid Link... that gets uninstalled, I would not ever trust it to manage my system). And I really want to thank Pete Gates for adding back the plugin version reporting capability in PT Prefs, I used to use my own script to do the same, and he stopped me unleashing that on the world/having to support it. |

Re: Avid Plugins Tier 2 Installation
All,
Thanks for responding. I just looked at the details for each of this and have attached a screen shot. Some months ago I had logged into my Avid account and downloaded the installer which I never noticed before and ran it. The Version is 22.2.0.7, Copyright 1991-2021 Avid Technology, Inc. for each of these. Since I upgraded Pro Tools to Studio in May and because these plugs have timestamps of February, the answer is they are updated via a separate installer. Thanks very much for the guidance. I'll look at the utility as well. Best...
