Same with the $199 it'll cost me for my other two non HDX computers.



All I really want is a one button freeze tracks function for VI's.



It's not like the software will stop working just because you don't renew your subscription.



Then when PT13 comes out, I'll buy in again.

That's exactly why everyone's freaking out. If Avid follow the direction of Media Composer, where if you don't tenew your subscription your license will be locked to the version you stopped at, and if you want to jump on the train again you have to buy a complete new software license. At least that's how I've understood it.

A WUP would be all cool.
