What You Need to Activate Pro Tools
Pro Tools is authorized using an iLok USB key (2nd generation) from PACE Anti-Piracy. An
iLok can hold hundreds of authorizations for all of your iLok-enabled software. After a
software license is placed on an iLok, you can use the iLok to authorize that software on any
computer.
If you purchased a boxed version of Pro Tools, or Avid hardware bundled with a version
of Pro Tools or Pro Tools HD, it includes an iLok USB key and an activation card with
a printed activation code.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Pro Tools or Pro Tools HD, you will
need to use your own iLok USB key. You will receive an activation code through your
online Avid account.
The procedure of activating Pro Tools is described in the “Pro Tools Installation Guide”. The
following sections refer only to Media Composer.
