So that IF/WHEN they decide to allow it in the future it will be announced as a 'cool new feature'?

Re: Ilok Transfers blocked
Or so they can stop the selling of second hand licenses.
You now either have the choice of paying $899 for a perpetual license with one year of free upgrades, and so much a year after that. I've forgotten the amount. $199 maybe. Or pay the monthly rental fee. Is it like $29??!? I really don't keep up much these days. I upgraded an old MP license to 12 and have upgrades until March of next year. After that I will keep whatever version is released at the time and never give avid another dime. If for some unknown reason I do need to use a newer version, it will probably be for short term and I'll just rent for a month.

Re: Ilok Transfers blocked
In most cases, people have their PT12 license from upgrading, which means they have a support plan. I'm assuming that's your situation.
In the FAQ for Protools licensing it states that right now you can not sell a license that includes a support plan, but that they are working on the implementation of this. So at some point you'll be able to do it, but not right now. So this is why your license can not be transferred. The only PT12 licenses that can be transferred are those that came with a new hardware bundle, because they do NOT include the support plan. |

You only get V.12 with the rental if you want v.10 or V.11 you have to buy it

So If I manage a rental house and I need to send a system and want transfer a license I can't do it. So If a run a multiroom/mutilcity operation and need to move a license I have package up an ilok and send it Fed-Ex - that make sense…. |

Re: Ilok Transfers blocked
Rental houses do not transfer a license from their account to the renter's account, they rent an iLok with the license on it
You can sill move the license from one iLok to another as long as both licenses are tied to the same account, this is the way the big places work, tens to hundred of iLoks all tied to one account

I already have a 10/11/12 license. So I'm good there. I was just saying if they do eventually release a new feature, after my support plan has lapsed, and for some reason I need to use it, I'll just rent PT instead of keeping my current license covered. At the rate they're sending out all these updates and new features my support plan will be long expired before something useful to me is added lol.
