You're exactly why you can't run Pro Tools without the hardware.

I installed ProTools 5.2 (I still use OS classic because it remains
so much faster than OSX with my G3 iBook) and it says "Unable to
create a DAE deck". What is the problem? Is it because I donīt have
their hardware?
How did you get the software?

you know enough to guess 
ProTools is a pretty expansive system so before I spend the money - if
I decide to do so - I want to try, just to find out if it is what Iīm
looking for.
