Elvis Valentine Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 OK this might not be the best place for this question so sorry in advance. i think it is though. If i were to buy an unregistered copy of pro tools 10 student from someone (not a dealer an actual person). As in a legit copy not a fake just never been registered or used would i be able to register it? I am a student myself. Would it just be a case of registering it with avid and authenticating my studentness or would this just not work? I know you can transfer a license for about 20 bucks but i guess not the academic version. Thanks all y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yes, you'd be able to register it as your copy. AFAIK it's the dealer's responsibility to check your entitlement to academic versions. I bought mine from my local independent music shop (it's the way forwards, folks) and he knew that I taught music, so that was good enough for him. When I registered it online I don't remember even being asked whether I was a stoodent or not. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Make sure you get a USB iLok key with it too, you'll need that to authorise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
