Purchasing Pro Tools Plug-Ins
There are two ways on purchasing a plug-in:
• Directly from within Pro Tools - this way is called In-App Purchase
• On the Avid.com/shop web site - this way is called Out-App Purchase
Both of these ways are described in details in the following sections.
In-App Purchase
To purchase a plug-in while working with Pro Tools, do the following:
1. Staying in Pro Tools, click Buy for the plug-in you want to have.
This opens a dialog prompting you to enter your billing information.
2. Enter your credit card number, valid address and other billing information.
As soon as the information is confirmed, the iLok Web page is opened.
3. Enter your PACE credentials to enter the PACE Web page.
This step is necessary to deposit the PACE license to your iLok.
4. Plug your iLok in to be able to receive the license information for the plug-in you are
buying. The license is deposited to your iLok. Now Pro Tools is ready to receive the plug-in
installer.
The plug-in installation begins. After the installation is finished, Application Manager
receives a notification about a new plug-in available and a product definition file is created
(see Administrator's guide for more information about it).
5. To display the new plug-in on the Apps tab of Application Manager, click Settings > Refresh
apps.
