to insert your iLok key into an available USB port on your computer before
launching Pro Tools 11.
Launching Pro Tools
Pro Tools software can be launched by double-clicking on the application
icon on the system’s internal drive or by double-clicking on a shortcut to the
application. In Windows systems, the Pro Tools 11 application is typically
installed under C:\Program Files\Avid\Pro Tools\ProTools.exe, and a
shortcut is placed on the desktop. In the Mac OS, Pro Tools 11 is typically
placed under Applications\Pro Tools.app.
Tip: Pro Tools 11 software can be co-installed with Pro Tools 10
software on the same system (requires Pro Tools version 10.3.6 or
later). Pro Tools 10 software is installed under C:\Program
Files(x86)\Avid\Pro Tools\ProTools.exe (Windows) or
Applications\Avid\Pro Tools\Pro Tools.app (Mac).
