M-Powered and LE are essentially the same, except LE can support the DV toolkit, where M-Powered cannot.  Last I checked anyways, I haven't bothered to update my Protools in some time, Ardour FTW;)

The above statement is for Pro Tools M-Powered and may or may not not
Pro Tools LE or Pro Tools. Pro Tools M-Powered is the M-Audio version
of Pro Tools that Digi started providing after then snatched up
M-Audio. M-Powered has a number of limitations, presumably to get you
to upgrade to LE or a full blown system.

As an ex-Pro tools user it seems unlikely that this limitation would
apply to all versions of Pro Tools.

Just my guess. I know nothing.
