Default Pro Tools - 1 licence 2 computers

Hi I currently have a perpetual Protools native licence which I’m using via my iLok2. I’m using it in my current MacBook Pro (Mojave) - unless I upgrade to Catalina I can’t update Protools any further as Catalina will leave some of my other non 64 bit hardware unusable, I’m planning on buying a new MacBook Pro in the next couple of weeks and my question to you is as follows:
Will I be able to use my current Protools perpetual product in the new computer and be able to update my software via my support / update plan WHILE AT THE SAME TIME NOT updating the version of Protools I already have in my current computer (with the same licence on the iLok)

In short - can I run Protools in two computers with the same licence on iLok - updating the version in the new computer while still being able to use the un-updated version on my old computer?

I hope my question makes sense and would appreciate any reply and / or advice re this issue

😃😃

As stated by EGS - yes as long as your PT license allow for the right versions you need for each computer. Might wanna look into that first.

Welcome to the community.

As long as you don't mean using two systems simultaneously with one license, then yes, as said whatever you are using on the old computer now will stay as is and the RELEASE LIMIT date on your license determines how long you can update your new system before you need to renew it.
