Known Limitations (2.0.1)

Standalone editor does not support macOS 10.14+ (Catalina or newer).
Pro Tools 2020+ requires 32-bit Eleven Rack driver (legacy mode on some systems).
No new IR loading capability (still 40 factory cabs + user slots via older methods).

Part 4: Post-Update – Activating the New Amps

Many users install the 2.0.1 firmware but still cannot see the "M-2" or "DC Modern" amp models. Why? Because the firmware is just the operating system; the amp models are locked via an iLok license. Known Limitations (2

The Missing Amps Symptom: You see the rigs, but when you scroll through amps, the new models are greyed out or missing.

The Fix:

Open Pro Tools (any version from 8 to 11).
Insert the Eleven Rack as an insert effect.
Go to the Window menu → Eleven Rack → License.
If you own the Expansion Pack, your iLok will authorize it. If not, you must purchase a license (available second-hand via Reverb or eBay, as Avid no longer sells them new).
Once authorized, you will see a pop-up: "New expansion pack models unlocked."

A note on Legacy Users: If you previously owned ERP 2.0, your iLok license automatically works for 2.0.1. You do not need a new license.

Problem 2: The Update Fails at 50% (Write Error)

Cause: A corrupted download or a failing USB cable.
Solution: Re-download the 2.0.1 updater from a reputable legacy archive (like the "Eleven Rack Presets" Facebook group). Replace your USB cable. Repeat the update process. If it fails twice, the unit may require a recovery via serial port—a rare service center job.
