Ñ It is now possible to authorize Macs running MacOS 9
Ñ For Challenge/Response authorization, you can now select external harddisks, to keep your TC|Tools authorization movable.

2. Installing the TC|Tools 3.02 TDM Plug-Ins
Run the TC|Tools installer on your product CD-ROM and follow the instructions on screen:
(1) First, you╒ll see the 'Welcome Screen'. Please click on ╥Continue╙.
(2) On the Second screen, you╒ll find the license agreement. Before proceeding further, make sure you read, understand and agree to the terms. Then click ╥Accept╙.
(3) The third screen presents you with the ReadMe file (this file) ╨ read it, save it if you like, then click on ╥Continue╙.
(4) Now you╒re ready for the actual installation. Select ╥Easy Install╙. The installer automatically copies the TC|Tools Plug-Ins to the proper location on your hard disk, namely the "System Folder:DAE Folder:Plug-Ins" Folder.
TC|Tools presets are copied to the "System Folder:DAE Folder:Plug-In Settings" Folder
Note: If you would like to install only certain components, you can select "Custom Install" instead of "Easy Install". "UnInstall" will delete the TC|Tools plug-ins from you hard disk.
If you have already installed a previous version of TC|Tools please make sure to remove them from the "System Folder:DAE Folder:Plug-Ins" Folder.
(5) Now the installation is performed, and you╒ll be presented with the final dialog, saying that installation was successful. Click on ╥Quit╙ and you╒re done!

4. Authorization
TC|Tools 3.02 is protected against software piracy. Please follow the instructions below to get the TC|Tools authorized on your system.
You have to get a Challenge/Response authorization direct from TC Works. With the Challenge/Response you won╒t lose authorizations in case of system crashes, hard disk initializations etc. ╨ you simply type in your Response code again.
THIS AUTHORIZATION CAN'T BE MOVED TO OTHER COMPUTERS! PLEASE MAKE SURE TO AUTHORIZE THE COMPUTER YOU WANT TO USE WITH TC TOOLS. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR AUTHORIZATION MOVABLE, YOU HAVE TO AUTHORIZE AN EXTERNAL MEDIUM (external hard disk, ZIP or JAZ medium) VIA CHALLENGE/RESPONSE.
How to get the Challenge/Response authorization?
(1) If you haven╒t done so, run the TC|Tools Installation from the TC|Tools CD.
(2) Launch Pro Tools. During startup, you will get the message that TC|Tools are not authorized, and that you can use them in ╒unauthorized╒ mode for up to 21 days.
(3) Select ╒Authorize╒ to get to the Challenge/Response screen.
(4) Select a hard drive you want to authorize for TC|Tools. This has to be a drive that is always connected to your Pro Tools system when you want to use TC|Tools. You can╒t move the authorization to another drive afterwards, so please make sure to select the correct drive! If you want to keep your authrization movable, you have to authorize an external medium like an external hard disk, ZIP or JAZ medium.
(5) Register your product and submit the Challenge Code to TC Works. Press ╥Copy Challenge╙ to copy the challenge string to the clipboard. Of course you could also write the code down. Now register online at www.tcworks.de or send in your registration card. You could also send the response code via e-mail to response@tcworks.de (Please include your name and the TC|Tools serial number).
If you have internet access from your Pro Tools computer just click on the ╥Web Page╙ button. This is a link to TC Works╒ homepage, where you can register your product online and request your response code.
(6) Usually, you will receive the Response Code within two days after you have registered online. After you have received the code, you need to get to the Challenge/Response screen again (see 2 and 3).
(7) Select the same hard drive as before and enter the Response Code. Now, the ╘OK╒ button will become active (black). Click ╥OK╙ and the product is authorized.
5. Problems?
Ñ If you have problems installing to TC|Tools make sure that you have enough available space to install TC|Tools (approximately 15MB for full installation incl. all presets). Repeat the installation procedure and make sure to double-check that your system is compliant with all system requirements.
Ñ If you still have problems or questions about installing or authorizing TC|Tools call Customer Support. A list with customer support details ships with the product.
6. Late Breaking News
Presets from the previous TC|Chorus 2.0 and TC|EQsat 2.0 versions can be loaded in the 3.02 versions. However, if you have sessions where parameters of the older versions are automated, these parameters might not be automated correctly.
Presets from TC|Reverb 2.0 can't be used within TC|MegaReverb 3.0x, because this is a completely new plug-in.
However, TC|MegaReverb 1.0 presets can be used with TC|MegaReverb 3.0x.
Presets created with TC|Tools v3.0x can't be loaded by older plug-in versions!
