Installing AVoption XL
Software
AVoption XL includes the following software:
• Pro Tools Installer CD-ROM
• AVoption XL Authorizer floppy disk
AVoption XL is copy protected with a key disk
system. After you install the software from CD-
ROM, the Authorizer diskette permits you to au-
thorize and use a single copy of AVoption XL.
AVoption XL software is installed in a specific
location in your System Folder, and should not
be moved or altered. The Authorizer diskette
permits you to reclaim authorization from your
hard drive if you want to install AVoption XL
on a different hard drive, or if you want to re-
initialize or format your drive.
To install AVoption XL software:
1 Insert the Pro Tools Installer CD-ROM in your
CD-ROM drive.
2 Follow the installation instructions to install
AVoption XL.
To authorize or deauthorize AVoption XL:
1 Insert Authorizer diskette into floppy drive.
(Pro Tools should NOT be launched during this
process)
2 Click Authdeauthorizer in the pop-up win-
dow that appears.
3 Click Set-up Authorizer or Deauthorizer.
4 Choose Remove or Authorize (If you are re-
moving an application and a”?” appears over
the application icon, indicates that the diskette
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.)
5 Select disk location and click Remove or Au-
thorize.
