Okay. I'll try and make it simple here.

I bought a used Digi 002 with LE 6.7 and installed it. Worked great.

Then I upgraded online to LE 7.0. But it wouldn't work because is kept prompting me to put in my authorization code. First off, the email that Digidesign sent me as a receipt for the purchase of the 7.0 upgrade said that it has deposited the authorization code into an ilok account. Well, I didn't know that I needed an ilok account...I don't even have an ilok or an ilok account. Do I need to open an ilok account and go buy an ilok???? If I did this, would the authorization code be in my new account? How can they deposit an authorization code into a non existing account? I guess you need an ilok for PT LE 7.0? Trying to find this info on the Digidesign website is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I DID learn that you DO need an iLok for PT HD 7.0 but it made no mention of LE 7.0 needing one.

So then I decided to uninstall PT LE on my computer and reload 6.7 so I could actually do some work. I didn't really know how to uninstall 7.0 so I uninstalled 6.7 which worked. I didn't see any sign of PT 7.0 on my computer after this which I took to mean that it had uninstalled PT LE all together. Was I wrong? I then RE-loaded 6.7 in hopes to use it but when I try and open it, it gives me an error : shared library error: "4<Pro Tools PPC dbg><Pro Tools PPC dbg><DAE><FreeFic>"

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?

I tryed unloading PT and installing it again but it still gives me the same error.

Basically I've screwed myself to the point of tears. Very frustrating and this is my first experience with digital recording.

Tape rules. (no flames please)

PLEASE HELP ME?
