Chapter 1: Getting Started With Plug-Ins 3
Demo Plug-Ins and Authorization
Some plug-ins require an iLok USB hardware key
present in order to run in demo mode. Demo au-
thorization for such plug-ins can only be in-
stalled over the internet from Digidesign’s Web
site (www.digidesign.com) while you launch
Pro Tools. Make sure that your Pro Tools-
equipped computer is internet-ready and that
your iLok USB key is inserted in an available USB
port before you launch Pro Tools to complete
this automated process. This is a one-time-only
procedure for plug-ins that require it.
Updating Older Plug-Ins
Because the Plug-In Installer CD-ROM contains
the latest versions of all Digidesign plug-ins, you
can use it to update any plug-ins you already
own by installing the desired plug-in from the
CD-ROM. If there is already a valid authoriza-
tion key on the destination hard disk, you will
not be prompted for a new one.
Installation on Macintosh
To install a plug-in:
1 Insert the Plug-Ins Installer CD-ROM in your
CD-ROM drive and double-click Install Plug-Ins.
2 Select the plug-ins that you want to install.
You can also install demo versions of Digide-
sign’s other TDM or AudioSuite plug-ins.
3 Select a destination drive for the plug-ins.
(This should be the System drive that contains
your DAE folder.)
4 Click Install. The plug-ins are installed in your
DAE folder.
5 If you want to perform additional installa-
tions, click Continue. If you are finished with
your installation, click Quit to return to the
Finder.
Installation on Windows
To install a plug-in:
1 Insert the Plug-Ins Installer CD-ROM in your
CD-ROM drive.
2 Open the Digidesign Plug-Ins directory.
3 Locate and double-click the Setup.exe file on
the Installer CD-ROM for the plug-in you want
to install.
4 Follow the on-screen instructions.
5 When installation is complete, click Finish.
6 Repeat steps 3 through 5 for all plug-ins that
you want to install.
The plug-ins are installed in your DAE folder.
You will be prompted to authorize the plug-ins
when you launch Pro Tools.
Digidesign Registration
Make sure to complete and return the registra-
tion card included with your Digidesign plug-in.
Registered users will receive periodic software
update and upgrade notices. Please refer to the
registration card for information on technical
support.
Digidesign plug-ins versions 5.3 and earlier
are not supported in Pro Tools 6.0.
