I just got a new computer and it is not equipped with a Floppy Drive. How do I authorize my Digidesign software?
My disk does not mount on the desktop even though I have the proper SuperDisk Extensions as well as the PACE USB
Floppy Enabler system extensions.
My computer freezes whenever I launch MasterList CD 2.2.
Where is the authorization code for Pro Tools located?
My computer hangs when I launch Pro Tools LE 5.0.1 for the first time after installing it. I can still move my mouse and
the words "Pro Tools LE" are displayed on the menu bar, but I am never prompted to enter my authorization code.
I ordered my computer with the optional internal SCSI drive but your manuals say that an ATA drive is required. Is this
true?
"this demo copy of ... has expired." How do I make it so I don't see this error anymore?
I keep getting the message, "This copy of AVOption requires authorization. Please insert the key disk...". What is
AVOption?

What is the Digidesign Plug-In Validator?
This is a utility that allows you to check the version of your non-Digidesign plug-ins to determine whether or not
they need to be updated for use with the currently installed version of Pro Tools.
To use the Digidesign Plug-In Validator:
Launch the "Digidesign Plug-In Validator" application located in your Pro Tools Utilities folder. If any of your non-
Digidesign plug-ins have not been updated, they will be listed in the display window. Please visit the Web site for
the manufacturer of any affected plug-ins and download the update (if available), or ask the manufacturer when
one will be available.
This utility was originally introduced with Pro Tools 6.2.2 due to a PACE copy protection bug. Some users experience
instability and/or crashes when launching Pro Tools, opening a session, or dismissing a trial-period dialog if any
Pace-wrapped third party plug-ins are installed. The fix for this bug is in the latest PACE drivers included and
installed automatically within the Pro Tools software installer. Updates to all plug-ins are also necessary to prevent
instability and/or crashes. All plug-ins supplied with the Pro Tools 6.2.3 installer have been fixed. Even if you do not
have updates for all your plug-ins, instability would only occur immediately after adding or removing a plug-in from
your Pro Tools Plug-Ins folder. After the first crash and subsequent reboot, you should not see any further
problems, unless you then add or remove plug-ins from the Plug-Ins folder.
