pace support services?

[zimv20]

when my macs boot up (panther), before the login screen, there's that window that has a progress bar and it flashes different startup tasks. one of these is "Pace Support Services," and sometimes it takes a while to initialize.

anyone know what this is?

does everyone get this, or does this have to do w/ the ilok-protected pro tools plugs i bought?
