Black Friday 20 percent off subscription plans now til 12/1
https://www.avid.com/special-offers/black-friday
Is this only for subscriptions or also for support plans. Last year I almost missed the discount because my renewal is not till January. But they were kind enough to refund my credit card the difference after I asked / begged, which I have to say i was surprised they did. I have not called support in years and what did we get last year, support for Mojave, plugin rentals, voice rentals and some sound effects.... I am still on High Sierra. Not only do I have to renew ultimate for 400 but now the regular has doubled in price of which I also have a license. So 480.00 total for my renewals after discount and last year was 400 for the two. And now you may not be able to reinstate if you let your support lapse from what other posts are saying. I wonder if you switch to the two year subscription to save money on the first two years over continuing the support plan, will you then loose your old perpetual licenses from your account because you are now renting the latest version. I have perpetual PT 10, 11, 12, Ultimate. Does anyone know the deal on that? I use 10 and 11 at times when I have to run MT Lion for certain work.

From the fine print at the bottom:
"This promotion is not applicable to renewal of Software Updates and Support Plan for any Perpetual license. " So, subscription only. |

However, Avid is running a separate special for 15% off renewals through most dealers. I think it's through this weekend.

In the case of PT standard..$99 sub per year for two years (which used to be the cost of support plan renewal), but then it goes to 300 bucks a year. Which is more expensive than the support plan renewal. So.. Let's say -cross grading from perpetual to 5 years of pro tools subscription is $99 for two years then $299 for 3 years, so, a total of $1095 Keeping your support plan going for the next 5 years equals a total of $995 Um.. pretty scummy tactic by Avid, to entice people to give up the software they own, to pay them more in the long run to rent it. *Really* scummy.

Attention AVID:
I'll give you my Pro Tools Ultimate and my Pro Tools Education Perpetual Licenses when you pry them from my cold, dead hands! You seriously need to review your insane policies and cut this nonsense.

Re: Black Friday 20 percent off subscription plans now til 12/1
Maybe ya'll dont agree, but you're doing this TO YOURSELVES!!! ive said a thousand times, if you have important money making deeply important WORK to do, get a solid version and fix it on the OS , AND FORGET IT!!!
WHYYYY do you contimue on this hamster wheel?!?!?! As soon as you're happy, they pull the rug out with another OS /non supported newerr bug version....

That’s all well and good if you never plan to change your workflow and a lot people might fall into that category. But, there are a lot of people that like to take advantage of new features introduced in the software that can improve our workflow and end product. Also, some new plugins and software require new updated operating systems. If you park your system on an old OS you’re not able to access some of the newer tools. I say this as someone who routinely stays two OS revisions behind in my studio, but have had to upgrade at times due to the above. So yeah, not everyone can just park their system indefinitely. Not to mention, new machines come with new OS’ that can’t necessarily be downgraded. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
