Perpetual update & support plan
Hello folks. Just a simple query… I have a perpetual licence that I have no intention of surrendering - and my update and support plan used to cost £99.00 per year. It has just renewed - and the price has risen to £195.50 - almost double. Is this correct - was it changed some time ago and I just didn’t notice?
Thanks!

Re: Perpetual update & support plan
I've just checked your previous renewal and it's showing the same price.
You can go to https://my.avid.com/products/orderhistory?year=2020 To check your previous orders and its price. (need to be signed in with your Avid Account) Thanks!

Re: Perpetual update & support plan
Thanks Tope - I see now. Although the price varies from year to year - it jumped from 89.00 Euros in 2019 to GBP 184.00 for three years and has now risen to GBP 195.50!
Is there any reason why the price doubles between '19 and '20 for the same plan? And is my price a standard price for all perpetual licence users who buy the same plan - or do we all have different pricing? How does it work? Thanks in advance. Tony

It's the same for everyone, there was a price change that has happened over the years. There were also times that promos/discounts would be available. Hope this helps!

Re: Perpetual update & support plan
Thanks Tope - in reality though it was a doubling of the price in one year wasn't it... It means I am paying nearly GBP 200 per year for my DAW - that I bought as a one off many years ago (PT7) with updates built in... It is not the same as other DAW's and it is a lot of money to consider...

Re: Perpetual update & support plan
However Avid did remove the penalty for laps-renewals
And the advances have been coming.

Re: Perpetual update & support plan
Sure - accepted for the latter part... but I never lapsed, my payments were all automatic and on time for my licence...so the former not really much good to us good citizens

Re: Perpetual update & support plan
From memory -
During one of the many rejiggerings of the licensing scheme, AVID offered a "Promotional half-price" Upgrade and Support pricing. Many of us, probably including lowthert jumped on this offer. IIRC this put the price at USD $99. When this was implemented (I think July 2019?), I recall being pretty cheesed-off with AVID for giving about two weeks notice of the sea change to their licensing/support/update model, so much so that I acquired Studio One with the intent of jettisoning PT. I didn't fully convert; "The devil you know...". I think this is what caused lowthert's apparent doubling of the Upgrade and Support price. USD $99 was a "Promotional" price and available only during (IIRC) June/July of that year (2019?). Discuss...

No idea why it works like this - it is all over the place, without rhyme nor reason - but I guess if it is the same for every customer - it is what it is... Would be nice to get a loyalty anomaly again sometime though
