Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
I just bought 2 years additional vanilla and Im thinking of grabbing another couple of the Ultimate renewals before the price goes up....cause we all know that is coming next.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
Welcome to AVID the new "Gibson" of DAW dev's!
I just want to point out that IMHO it would be more cost effective and smarter to NOT give up a perpetual license when it would be easier to purchase a separate monthly license if and when needed. IOW if you freeze your system then Avid changes everything you can rent the new stuff when you need to and use your old stuff when you dont. I'm going to get a couple years of support plan and just hope i haven't thrown money into a black hole headed the way of Studio Vision Pro. But if they come up with an all new non perpetual DAW that wont work with old sessions or vice versa, then i will just rent as needed.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
Ultimately for me and we’re not a studio rolling in cash.... but the reality is $199 per year is still one of the smallest costs in our studio.... hell I probably spend more on guitars strings.... and the thousands of $ i have spent adding software plugs, hardware, cabling, racks, building modifications on going combustibles to name a few... Hell the cost of electricity in this country has skyrocketed that is more concerning to me. PT comes in so far at a pretty small cost.... even if it is $199 per year.
The only thing that concerns me is not giving the perp lic, and when at a point I have to then I get to choose whether I switch a sub plan and keep getting updates or stay with the version I have at that point. The end of the day PT is ultimately a tool for recording/designing sound it doesn’t make you any better at doing that just because you have the latest version.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
My concern is that Avid decides in a year or two to force everyone onto a sub. After all, they can simply pull the iLok authorization and anyone that paid for a couple of years of support/upgrades will simply have that credited to the sub plan.
I know of a company that did this last year for their business software. If you freeze your version, it still can become useless if Avid kills the iLok auth. I'd have to read the EULA to see what it says, but my guess is there is something in the language saying they can terminate the license. |

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
Considering software is "on loan" fundamentally, they should (legally) be able to "take it back" any time they want...Just saying...

If Avid were to do that shame on me for investing time and money with this company. Its not a ton of money invested but it was what they asked for at the time for the product. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

FWIW, I got sick of being jerked around by two of the plug-in companies, too. Upgrades for plugs that run horribly on good quality machines, etc. i'm getting really fed up with the lot of them. It's not just software companies nor music in general. It's really insane these days. |

step 1: answer my question regarding Perpetual Licenses Reinstatements in the thread that I started, giving me a positive answer that HD to Ultimate reinstatements will still be available at the same price after July 1st. step 2: delete the thread less than 24 hours later, merging my OP with this thread but not the answer from Avid. |
