Do not remove the iLok while running Pro Tools. Searching through the DUC I found many other people with similar problems and some had said they submitted a case to Avid support and had received a temporary. My iLok sat there with a Pro Tools 12 license for all the world to see but Pro Tools 12.6 was having none of it.
Please review the information below provided by Avid to download it right awayPro Tools 12.6.1 Release InformationNovember 30th, 2016System. An iLok (2nd generation) must be connected at all times while running Pro Tools Pro Tools requires that an iLok (2nd genera tion) with the appropriate auth orizations be connected to the computer at all times. After installing Pro Tools 12.6 it would insist that I had no license. It is OK to pay for new features but you should not pay for bug fixes, which is essentially repair of errors introduced by avid. Pro Tools 12.6.1 is now available for download. I think avids model is wrong, because no matter when your plan expires and you decide to stop, you will never get hold of the bug fix releases in order to "complete" your PT. Please correct me if that is wrong, since I haven't been able to try it out. So, even though the license is OK, the hurdle issued by avid is that you can't get hold of the installers for neither 12.5.1 nor 12.5.2 from your account, if your plan expired at 12.5.0.
Just curious and thinking out loud !!!At 12.6.0 there was the need to update your license and in order to do this you need to be on an active plan.Īfter what I can read, the license covering e.g. Q) Will the Pro Tools subscription stop working if the computer is not connected to the internet A) The Pro Tools system will only need to be connected to the internet for the initial iLok license transfer, and for any license refresh (at the end of a term if the license is renewed).
Pro tools 12.6 with ilok install#
say you have 12.5.0 and you install 12.5.2, will it work or not ? Your free trial includes Pro Tools Ultimate, 110+ plugins, a 2 GB high-quality loop library and 1 GB of Collaboration Cloud Storage. what if you Did install a later version ? what message does the software give you ? ie: you are not authorized to run this version of PT ? or ? and when does this kick in.
