This comes from the Digidesign web site here.
The following version 8.x plug-ins are automatically installed during Pro Tools 8 installation as free plug-ins that do not require iLok authorization.
- D-Fi bundle (LoFi, RectiFi, SciFi, VariFi)
- Maxim
- SansAmp PSA-1
- TL AutoPan
- TL Utilities (TL InTune, TL MasterMeter, TL Metro)
These plug-ins can also be used with Pro Tools HD, LE, and M-Powered v7.3.1, 7.4, and 7.4.2 systems, and require no iLok authorization to use on either Pro Tools 7 or 8 systems.
- Although you may be able to use these v8 plug-ins on Pro Tools 7.0 through 7.3.0 systems, they have only been qualified by Digidesign with Pro Tools 7.3.1 and higher.
- Plug-ins listed as plug-in version 7.x and lower of each of these plug-ins requires authorization either by iLok license or authorization code.
This is a neat trick for anyone who is running Pro Tools 7 as well on an older machine like me. Although I have upgraded but main HD rig to Pro Tools 8, my portable system is based around a G4 PowerBook which won’t run Pro Tools 8 officially so to have all these plug-ins without needing an iLok on my laptop is brilliant news.
Remember to look further down this page for the latest compatibility news on Pro Tools plug-ins.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
