Default PT9 License after 10 upgrade?

I assume we are surrendering the PT9 license as usual.

But, will the 10 license open PT 9 software. Its important for many reasons.

1) major bugs
2) Facilities still on PT9.
3) If there is a major problem, going for 10 to 9, or other wise, people need to get back to 9 without a hitch.

Either that, or I'll just have to wait a year or so to be sure all the problems are ironed out.
I don't see why we should be limited to only v10.

What's the verdict?

Yes - new versions will typically come with a bundle auth for the previous version as well.

So you are saying PT10 has a 9 license in it?

If that's the case, I'll get it sooner rather than later and test it.

Not exactly - it's only if you have Pro Tools 9 and upgrade to 10. Full Pro Tools 10 versions only come with the Pro Tools 10 auth.

That's what I mean. You upgrade from 9, you can still run 9. You buy 10 full version you don't get a 9 license.

I'd be upgrading.

I have an HD9 license bundle, (7, 7.4, 8.x & 9).. If I upgrade I will get these licenses back? Also, does the upgrade to 10 require a serial as well as the ilok asset?

Thanks.

You have all those licenses in a single bundle? I haven't heard of that...but, then again, I don't usually deal with that sort of thing so maybe I'm TOOMA.

If you upgrade to 10 you will need to surrender a 9 license - if that license is part of a bundle with 8, you would lose the 8 license, but still get a 9 license as a bundle with your 10 license.

Ok so I purchased a pt 9 license quite some time ago from a seller, and it did not come with any registration as it was used. I have the PT 9 license on my ilok.. if i upgrade to PT 10.. will it 'see' the pt 9 license and update it .. or how does it work?

Why should we upgrade? Avid still hasn't fixed 9? I'm still running 8 because it is semi-stable. Avid really sucks at customer service, quality, reliability, etc. Thanks Avid for convincing me to look elsewhere.

And I don't think I'm the only one who is pissed by Avid's lack of respect for the consumer; look at their stock! How does a company's stock drop the same day they have a press release of an update?

Cuz the markets closed before the announcement.
