  Look here

  You need an ilok thumb drive (dongle) and need to have it authorized with Avid/iLok

  My PT10 package came with the iLok TD but not all do… sometimes you need to purchase them separately. ProTools will not run without this authorization. It is actually cool because you can put ProTools on multiple systems and just plug the iLok into the machine that you want to use… even if it is someone elses.

  Hope this helps

  Thank you for your answer. I had the ilok was connected. The problem was with getting ilok.com to recognize it. In the end I changed the browser that I was using for ilok.com and everything worked.

  Hi there, I’m having the exact same problem with protools 10, im running mac os x 10.6.8

  Although i downloaded protools from Avid so i dont get a USB ilock stick, i have downlaoded drivers and just about eveything from Ilock but that doesnt not seem to make it work. i cant find any other solution.

  Help would be very much appreciated.
