Updating Your Plug-Ins
The 5.3.1 Updater will automatically install updated versions of
all Digidesign plug-ins, and move any plug-ins that it replaces
to the "Obsoleted Digidesign Software" folder on your
system hard drive
The following plug-ins that are installed by the updater are only
compatible with floppy disk authorizations:
- DPP-1
- Focusrite d2
- Focusrite d3
- D-Fi bundle (LoFi, SciFi, RectiFi, and VariFi)
- D-fx bundle (Chorus, Flanger, Multi-Tap Delay, Ping-Pong Delay)
- Drawmer Dynamics

- SurroundScope
If you were using HDpack
iLok authorized versions of these plug-ins, you will need to do
one of the following:
1 - Download Pro Tools 5.3.1 HDpack iLok versions
of DPP-1, Focusrite d2, D-Fi, or Maxim:
- Go to Digidesign Plug-Ins
for Pro Tools|HD Systems on Mac OS 9 and download the latest
Pro Tools|HD 5.3.1 iLok versions of these plug-ins
2 - Or you can re-install Pro Tools 5.3 iLok
versions from your "Obsoleted Digidesign Software" folder
on your hard drive:

from your System Folder/DAE Folder/Plug-ins Folder
- Go to your "Obsoleted Digidesign Software" folder
on your system hard drive to find your previous iLok authorized
version of these plug-ins
- Copy the previous iLok authorized version of these plug-ins
to your System Folder/DAE Folder/Plug-ins Folder
Either of these methods will work with Pro Tools 5.3.1. These plug-ins
will require the iLok included with your Pro Tools HD core system.
If you were using 2001

will need to do one of the following:
1 - Run the "iLok MIXpack Installer"
on your Pro Tools 5.3 CD for iLok versions of DPP-1, Focusrite d2,
or Maxim:
- Recent purchasers of Pro Tools|24 Mix systems who received the
Focusrite d2, Drawmer Dynamics, and Digidesign DPP-1 as a part
of the 2001 Q3 and Q4 MIXpack promotions should run the "iLok
MIXpack Installer" on their Pro Tools 5.3 CD for information
on the installation process that will preserve their iLok authorizations
for these versions of the plug-ins.
2 - Or you can re-install Pro Tools 5.3 iLok
versions from your "Obsoleted Digidesign Software" folder
on your hard drive:
- Remove the floppy authorized version of the above plug-ins from

on your system hard drive to find your previous iLok authorized
