Im not usually a protools user but i need a version of it for a sub leasing job when im on holidays. I need a version that is compatible with win XP and my M-audio Profire 2626. That means i can only use M-powered 8 or 7.4.

Anyone have a license they want to sell me?

Hi Al,

I have both of those versions but when I tried to sell it a year ago the licence transfer fee was more than the value of PT...... (something like $150 I think). If you can check out the t/fer cost I'd be happy to sell you my copy for a bargain price ;-).

I'm pretty sure PT9 will run on XP (emulation mode) and a 2626 - it's still just a 32bit app.

Protools 9 on XP? Didnt think that was possible, whats 'emulation mode'?

Hi Al,

If you right click on the installer and open the properties box you will find a checkbox and dropdown to let you select the emulation you want i.e. run as XP, run as W2000 etc

Thanks Ian! I'll look into that and the transfer fee. You're version of mpowered 8, is that install discs and a seperate ilok?

Yes indeedie - disks, original 7.4 box, iLok ... but wait!! there's more!!!! .... I think there are some things like Ableton as well

It probably isn't any use to you... but I have an ilok with a protools HD7 license on it that I ain't ever going to use.

Free to a good home... it is stuck on the ilok though (came with my core card... it is registered to another ilok account). It can't be transferred.

hi Nathan,

No, probably not of any use but thanks anyway.

Ian,

PMed you

All sorted, I will soon have 7.4 and 8.....Thanks Ian!
