Update Pt Le 6.8 To 7 ?, New Mbox2 recieved with PT 6.8 Options

[TeuBeu2]

Hi,

i juste recieved my Mbox2. That's a great stuff but it can't do anything with it ...

I can install PT LE 6.8 but the Mbox doesn't get on. I think it's normal because i got a MacBook (intel based mac).

So, I'm tryin to get PT LE 7.1.? (the one for intel). It results that my Authorization Code is unvalid (it starts with DIGI06).

So, I got 2 questions :

* Is my Mbox2 normal ? I mean, it doesn't work at all with PT LE 6.8, is IT normal ?

* If yes, sould I ask the support center a new Authorization code or should I BUY a new ?

Thanks !

PS : sorry for my english ...

You will need to install ProTools 7.1.1 for Intel Mac to get this working.

Digidesign have not even released a stand-alone Core Audio driver for Intel Macs, they are being extremely unpleasant with their current upgrade / crossgrade programs.

If you bought your MBox new and bought it recently you should qualify for a free upgrade, if not it will cost you about £80.

As the Core Audio driver is only included with the ProTools 7.1.1 installer, you will not be able to use your MBox at all until you have this version of PT installed.

Pretty disgusting behaviour from Digidesign I think.

BTW, there is a note on the Digidesign website advising that you can only use the side USB port away from the screen to connect your MBox once the software is installed although the iLok can go in the rear ports.
