EDIT: Looks like they are both running 10.6.8 from your signature. For lots of reasons doing a clean install as you already started may be a better way to go but you have to sort the registration issue out with Avid. Now if your iMac (do you still have it? or a backup of the boot disk?) is running a version of OS X compatible with your new to you MacBook Pro hardware then you could clone the iMac to the MacBook Pro. I have no idea what proof of eligibility Avid will require.īut I expect the questions they will ask will include have you done everything in the link provided earlier to find the registration you had, and did the previous owner do a transfer of ownership paperwork with you? And again, (especially if stuff was transfered years ago), make sure you don't have multiple Avid accounts under different email addresses. He may want you to open a support case, wait to hear from him. Jeffro will have to work the Avid support angle here with you.
Well you can run 8.0.5 on Snow Leopard, if you can get it activated, but that's now an Avid support issue. you might need to upgrade the computer to run Pro Tools 2019.5. OTOH if you know your computer runs this now that is great. Pro Tools 8 also does not have features like ability to work with third party audio interfaces, disk cache, track freeze and commit, has less automation capabilities, etc. Pro Tools 8 also cannot import current format sessions from more recent version of Pro Tools (but those users can save sessions in the old format). If you have Avid or third party plugins you need to make sure they are available in RTAS format (and ideally check they are claimed to run on your OS version and Pro Tools 8). Pro Tools started switching to AAX format plugins in Pro Tools 10. much less memory than Pro Tools 11 and later, and that constrains it for running lots of virtual instruments. Pro Tools 8 is a 32-bit program, and so only supports up to 3.5 GB or so application memory. Why do you want to run such and old DAW? For compatibility with other systems? If you have been running it and are happy then, sure.
Is this the best path to go down or should you get on a current version of Pro Tools?ĭo you actually have a PC that is capable of Running Pro Tools 8? (I'm hoping you do with the current computer you have). Do you remember the seller doing a transfer of ownership paperwork before? I'll get out of this and leave to Jeffro.īut before worrying about that. assuming you purchased that all together from a previous owner. There is a a transfer of ownership process that may still be available for Pro Tools 8 and old Digidesign hardware. You need to be really careful about buying used software. Oh dear, you may not have purchased any software license.
