Upgrading Ptmp8 to 12?

[nuno81291]

Hello,

I am interested in updating my protools. I contacted avid and sweet water to no avail. It would appear avid still offers a $199 upgrade to 12 for ptmp users. I would need an ilok2 as well. My question is does the upgrade come with a license for 11? There is a control surface I want to get that is not compatible with 12 AFAIK, so I am really after the 11 license. It appears on searching the forum that the upgrade has 10/11/12 bundled but it does not say that explicitly in protools upgrade/product page? Avid suggested I find a reseller that still had 11 authorization codes (Wtf avid!?)

I want to pull the trigger but would hate to have a $2000 paper weight controller as a result of "upgrading". Also this is a major jab at their customer support; bunch of useless sh*ts who could not directly and concisely answer my license question.

Regards
