Important Additional Notes:
All Pro Tools 11 licenses are a single "bundled" license that includes both Pro Tools 11 and 10 licenses.

When you activate your upgrade to Pro Tools 11, it will replace your Pro Tools 10 license with the Pro Tools 11 and 10 bundle license.

Please note, you will need an iLok 2 (the rectangular one, not the original key shaped iLok) for the Pro Tools 11/10 license.

If you choose to use Pro Tools 11 and 10 on the same system, you will need to update to Pro Tools 10.3.6 or higher for coinstallation with Pro Tools 11.

Downloads:
Both of the latest installers for Pro Tools 10 and 11 will be in your Avid account in Your Products under "Pro Tools 11" when you complete that activation/upgrade process:
http://account.avid.com

After you login to your account, you will find your downloads here:

• My Products and Subscriptions

Each of the Pro Tools installers in your Avid Account there is a full installer, not an updater.

Don't forget to install the additional free plug-ins and instruments that are included with Pro Tools 11 and Pro Tools 10, but are separate installer downloads in your Avid Account:
