Validating Pro Tools LE Software
When launching Pro Tools LE the first time, you
are prompted to enter an authorization code to
validate your software.
To validate Pro Tools LE software:
1 Double-click the Pro Tools LE shortcut on
your desktop (or the application in the Pro Tools
folder inside the Digidesign folder).
2 Enter the authorization code in the dialog
when prompted, making sure to observe any
spaces, then click Validate.
The authorization code is located on the inside
cover of this guide. Be sure to include any spaces
as you enter the authorization code.
After Pro Tools launches, the Channel Scribble
Strips on the Digi 002 unit display the message,
“Open or create a new session,” and only the
Pro Tools menus will appear on the computer
screen.
To see the Pro Tools Edit and Mix windows, a
new session must be created. Before you begin
working with Pro Tools, refer to the next section
to get acquainted with Pro Tools system set-
tings.
Before installing the demo session to your
audio drive, make sure the drive is config-
ured as described in “Hard Drive Require-
ments” on page 3.
