Can I use DirectConnect and HTDM at the same time?
HTDM Plug-Ins and DirectConnect can be used simultaneously in your session because DirectConnect in fact is a
special HTDM Plug-In that allows other host-based applications to stream their audio into Pro Tools.

How about RTAS and HTDM Plug-Ins? Can I mix both Plug-In types in a session?
At this time we highly recommend not using HTDM and RTAS Plug-Ins simultaneously in order to avoid audio
artifacts or other problems. We will continue to optimize this new functionality in future Pro Tools releases.

Are HTDM Plug-Ins available for Pro Tools|24 and Pro Tools III systems?
No, HTDM Plug-Ins require Pro Tools MIX hardware to work. Similar to DirectConnect, HTDM Plug-Ins needs at least
one free SRAM DSP on a Pro Tools MIX card to work.

I am a Pro Tools LE user. Will HTDM Plug-Ins work for me?
No, Pro Tools LE can take advantage of RTAS Plug-Ins only. Since HTDM Plug-Ins are modified RTAS Plug-Ins it is
very likely that a certain HTDM product is also available for the RTAS platform. Please contact the manufacturer of
your favorite Plug-In for more information about HTDM and RTAS support.

iLok
What is the Digidesign Plug-In Validator?
HDpack v5.0 License Cards
How can I tell if I have the correct iLok for my HD system?
When I try to register an iLok I get a message saying "waiting for server...still processing...almost done" but it does not
complete the process and my iLok does not get registered.
What plugins are included in the various HDpack license card versions?
Can I use any iLok to authorize my HDpack plug-ins?
"Error while verifying your authorization. Result Code: 12101"
After updating to Pro Tools 5.3.1 for HD (Macintosh version), several plug-ins won't see the iLok authorization key:
Focusrite d2, Maxim, and the D-Fi Bundle (LoFi, RectiFi, SciFi, and VariFi).
