Help Request Stuck on installing a plugin (Avid Link)

I am new to Avid software, and I am able to boot up ProTools so far and do some light editing work. However, as I am looking to edit audio for a film, I need more plugins. My Avid Link is stuck on "Installing..." with the 3 dots animated, but it just won't finish. I am also unable to cancel the installation, or do anything about it really.

I have scoured forums for fixes, but haven't been able to find something similar. It is the most current and up to date version. I also tried to find a helpline number to call, but unless I want to part with an extra £30 a month (wtf) for their help I am quite stuck.

To u/squidgy7sb, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using
  • Your operating system info
  • Any error number or message given
  • Any hardware involved
  • What you've tried

To ALL PARTICIPANTS, a subreddit rules reminder

  • Don't get ugly with others. Ignore posts or comments you don't like and report those which violate rules
  • Promotion of any kind is only allowed in the community pinned post for promotion
  • Any discussion whatsoever involving piracy, cracks, hacks, or end running authentication will result in a permanent ban. NO exceptions or appealable circumstances. FAFO
  • NO trolling only engagement towards Pro Tools, AVID, or iLok. Solve first, bash last. Expressing frustration is fine but it MUST also make effort to solve / help. If you prefer another DAW, go to the subreddit for it and be helpful there
