Create an Avid Account |
Create an Avid Master Account at account.avid.com. This account will allow you to activate your Avid software purchases and access your downloads. If you already have an Avid Master Account, skip to the next step. |
Activate your Software |
Visit avid.com/redemption to enter the Activation Code provided on the back of the Avid Activation Card or email you got on purchase from SudeepAudio.com (you will first need to log in to your Avid Master Account). You will need to enter your iLok.com User ID (created in Step 1 of this guide) during Activation. |
Download your Software |
Once you have activated your software, you will be directed to the Your Products section of your Avid Master Account. Here you will see all available downloads for your purchase; you can access these downloads at any time should you need to reinstall the software. Select the version you wish to download and install the software when the download is complete. |
Download your Drivers |
If you have not already done so, download and install the latest drivers for your Avid audio interface from avid.com/drivers. The most up-to-date drivers can always be found here, so there is no need to install from your driver disk as long as you have an internet connection. |
Register iLok to iLok Account |
Once your software is installed, use the iLok License Manager application to sign in to your ilok.com account. Insert your new iLok into your computer’s USB port and a dialog asking you to register the iLok to your account will appear. Select “Yes” to confirm. If you already have an iLok registered to your account, skip to the next step. |
Download iLok License Manager |
DISCLAIMER: Skip this process if you have installed Pro Tools into your computer already since the file installer when you download Pro Tools
While you’re at iLok.com, download the iLok License Manager. This application will allow you to manage all your licenses and accounts, without having to open a web browser. |
Move License to iLok |
Now that you have registered an iLok to your account, you will be able to move your software license to it. Simply select the license and drag it to your iLok, or select Activate License. You can move multiple licenses to the iLok by holding Shift to select them. If you want to move the license to another iLok, or back to your account for use later, use the same drag-and-drop method. |
Move License to iLok Cloud |
Indeed you can now activate your license without using an iLok key. Opening or enabling the iLok cloud session through the iLok license manager will help you to activate your Pro Tools license in a new way, making an extra USB port available in your computer because you will not be needing the physical iLok key anymore.
DISCLAIMER: iLok Cloud is only applicable for customers with Pro Tools 2018.1 or newer licenses and also not applicable for Pro Tools First. |
Launch Pro Tools |
Your software is now authorized on your active iLok, and you are ready to launch Pro Tools to use it! Pro Tools 11 allows you to activate most Avid software licenses directly, so if you missed the previous steps you can still get started without the iLok License Manager. Simply launch Pro Tools and follow the on-screen instructions to authorize your software! |
