Hay,
I'm running my protools 7.3.1 on an old G5 PPC mac, which is grand for audio.
I've been wanting to upgrade to 10.5.6 but PT 7.3.1 is a Tiger only version.
Good news is. Digidesign have sorted me out with a free upgrade to PT7.4 to run on 10.5.6 which solves my problems big time.
Now here's the cheeky part...
They've either inadvertently or intentionally sent me a second email entitling me to a free upgrade to PT 8 as well! Which is amazing, but PT8 is an intel only version.
SO - my macbook is an intel snow leopard bang up to date machine.
Would I be able to install PT 8 on the macbook while having PT7.4 running on the G5 & just swap out the iLok whenever I wanted to use PT portably?
I'm assuming PT 8 is a fresh install rather than an upgrade since its a completely new build for intel machines.
Can I have a PT 8 & PT 7.4 licences together on the same iLok? (If I've to buy a new iLok to do this, I would...)
(and before anyone says so, I know its not allowed, I'm just wondering if its possible in theory.)
