Ah yes - I see the difference now. I have the latter. Thanks!

just to clarify:
perpetual licenses with an annual plan that is up to date don't include heat?

Correct. Only subscription licenses. The support plan is irrelevant.

ok thanks,
what a strange policy...
I mean, I get access to all the other plugin offerings while my plan is active, why would they exclude heat?
anyways, back to work...

It's a carrot from Avid to entice you into subscription.

For the price of 1 year subscription you can buy HEAT outright and never have to pay rent and when you stop paying your support plan for updates and such you’ll still have the current (up to the point your support and update plan expired) ver of PT and HEAT still functioning

So you don’t have to go to a subscription to get HEAT

[martthie_08]

sure! it is very unlikely though that I'll end my subscription at any time because then I wouldn't be able to access all the other included plugins and I couldn't open old sessions for clients, which is a big no no for me...

that being said, I own and have around 600 plugins installed on my system and a few dozen of them do saturation and I was just interested how HEAT stacks up.

If there was a (14 day) demo available I'd check it out and gladly pay another 199 bucks if I liked it that much. But just blindly throwing out that kind of cash with a big chance that I already have some other software that does it equally well is not something I'm interested in.
