Upgrade from PT 8
Howdy,
I have an HDX system with 2018.4... going great, love it. I also have a TDM system running V 8.0. I would like to update that license to V9.. how do I go about this? My 2018 version was not part of an upgrade from v8. Cheers, Stefan. |

Re: Upgrade from PT 8
There are no ways to do this except buy a used license from somebody.
Why go to 9 HD and not a more capable 10 HD? |

Re: Upgrade from PT 8
Yep 10 would be great... I just thought upgrading my v8 license would be an easier step.
Either way, it looks like I'm stoofed. |

Re: Upgrade from PT 8
Huh? You have lots of choices. Go buy a used 10 HD license or buy a new Perpetual Pro Tools Ultimate License... which also gives you a Pro Tools 10 HD license, and would also let you run 2018 Ultimate software native on your non-HD/TDM rig. So you have cheap and more expensive/flexible options. Or hell just toss the TDM hardware, do you really need it? Lots of options you just need to make a decision. Besides needing it for TDM hardware do you need HD/Ultimate software features? If not that makes abandoning TDM easier.

Re: Upgrade from PT 8
Yes I need the TDM hardware, obviously.. otherwise I wouldn't bother.
I'm well aware of buying licenses... the whole point of my post was to check if my 8.0 license was upgradable. |

Re: Upgrade from PT 8
Sorry to say that PT8 isn’t possible to upgrade as Darryl said.
The upgrade options starts at PT9. I seen quite a few PT9HD licenses with combo so you get HD9/HD10 for around 400-500 USD perpetual. Best of Luck and hope you find a good option that suits you

Re: Upgrade from PT 8
Uh Chris no I gave correct info.
“Upgrade options”: there are no upgrade options from what he has... PT8HD does not qualify for any Avid upgrade. “buy used license options”: You can purchase a used license for PT9 HD... but why bother... go pick up a used license for PT 10HD. Who cares if that has a 9HD bundle or not. If on TDM I would focus on getting on 10HD. The PT8HD license is effectively worthless and does not help here... which I think is the root of his question. But just buying a used HD 10 license is not too expensive. And you can find a used HD9 license, transfer that license, and then upgrade to the latest bundled license through Avid, likely not worth the hassle, including ongoing annual charges. If this is a one man shop, there is already a 10 HD license in the combo license for the HDX system if it has a perpetual license...and that could just be used on the PT 10HD system, just with the inconvenience of swapping iLoks. |
