Transferring ProTools license to a different iLok account.

[ashley cox]

Hi all,

Bit of an unusual question. I’ve decided to sell my Eleven Rack, which came bundled with a copy of ProTools 11. When I sell the rack I want to transfer that ProTools license to the new owner's iLok account. That said, I’ve been doing a bit of research and it seems that (for ProTools HD systems at least), Avid are blocking transfers of licenses between accounts.

Can anyone tell me if this is the same for the standard version of ProTools? Has anyone recently successfully transferred their ProTools license from 1 iLok account to another? Failing that, who would be the best point of contact to ask at Avid (as I’ve never purchased any of their support plans etc and haven’t had any luck contacting them in the past)

Thanks for any and all input
Ashley

Hi Ashley,

I haven't heard of Avid blocking transfers but that might be a new thing and perhaps only with HD licenses and I'm not sure why that would be the case. At any rate, I believe any Avid reseller like Sweetwater should be able to answer a question like that.
BTW, do you already have a buyer? If not, what are you looking to get for the unit?

Excellent, thanks Slau. I’ll drop my local reseller an eMail.

I’m looking for about 400GPB as the rack itself is mint, boxed and practically and unused. I bought it because I wanted PT11; and over here in the UK, buying PT stand-alone and PT with an eleven rack used to be about the same price. While I’ve used PT a lot, the eleven rack has probably been used twice maximum. It never actually found its way into my rack. It sounds incredible, but I’ve always opted to mic up my Marshall instead.

If you or anyone on here is interested, drop me a message. I’m in the UK but I’d be willing to investigate shipping worldwide (I have a reputable and reliable courier service who I use on a regular basis who offer great international rates). I’d quite like to avoid eBay as I’d have to try to sell at a higher price to negate the loss of fees; and if I can sell to someone who already has ProTools, all the better as I then don’t have to deal with the hassle of transferring the license. That being the case I may also be a bit more negotiable on the price. :)


Cheers,
Ashley

Hi Ashley,

Ah, right, you're in the UK. Those are going for between three and four hundred dollars here so the exchange and shipping wouldn't work terribly well under the circumstances. I wasn't specifically looking for one but, if one comes my way, perhaps I'll snatch it up. Nothing like gear you don't need but want. While I could mic up the Marshall as well, I might be more inclined to track through a rack unit much of the time if it were right in front of me.

Cheers,
Slau

Ah no worries; hope they haven’t come down that much over here! :)

The eleven rack is very convenient, but it does have its limitations, the most prevalent of which being the lack of accessibility in the stand-alone editor. If that were accessible, I’d probably have kept it.

PTExperts seem to be in the process of converting all the 11 rack presets to work with the new 11 plug in and all the storm box plug in recently released by avid. Apparently those plug ins are native versions of what runs on the DSP in the 11 rack so software wise is identical. They also said they are matching them by ear since using the native plug ins you don’t get the use of the True Z input that you get when guitar is plugged into the 11 rack. That being said if these are what they are .. probably a good idea to unload the rack sooner rather than later
