Installing AVoption Software
AVoption includes the following software:
• Pro Tools Installer CD-ROM
• AVoption Installer CD-ROM
• AVoption Authorizer diskette
The Pro Tools Installer CD-ROM is provided in
case you need to update your Pro Tools to the
latest version. AVoption requires Pro Tools 5.0
or later. Owners of Pro Tools versions earlier
than 5.0 will need to contact Customer Service
for upgrade information.
AVoption is copy protected with a key disk. Af-
ter you install the software from CD-ROM, the
Authorizer diskette permits you to authorize
and use a single copy of AVoption.
AVoption software is installed in a specific loca-
tion in your System Folder, and should not be
moved or altered. The Authorizer diskette per-
mits you to reclaim authorization from your
hard drive if you want to install AVoption on a
different hard drive, or if you want to re-initial-
ize or format your drive.

1 Insert the Pro Tools Installer CD-ROM in your
CD-ROM drive.

dow that appears.

you inserted is not the one you originally used
to authorize this application. You should see a
gold key icon. If you continue through the de-
authorization process with a “?” will deautho-
rize the application but not credit an
authorization back to the diskette for your next
installation.)

thorize.
