Can't upgrade to PT11

[Ferrante]

I'm a PT10 owner who would like to upgrade to PT11, but I can't seem to find PT11 in Avid's store. It's all PT12 there.
Please help me upgrade to PT11.
Thank you!

It's been well explained in many places that when you buy PT12 you get a combined license asset for PT10, PT11 and PT12. You don't have to install PT10 or PT12; you can just install PT11. PT10 and PT11 with the right operating system can co-exist on the same boot partition at the same time.

Thanks musicman691. I was thinking if there was a cheaper way to get the PT11 upgrade, but I guess I have to upgrade to PT12 then, and install PT11.

Can I upgrade to PT12 without having to pay a fee every year?

You can but the problem then becomes that you're shut out of future upgrades until or unless you buy another complete PT license asset. You'd still get bug fixes though. Like I said if you buy an upgrade now you get the PT12 upgrade now; whether you install it now or in the future is up to you.

Do a search for PT 11 download. You will find a secure digidesign link. I posted this on another thread but it was removed. I too wanted to upgraded to PT11 but was only offered PT10.3.10 and PT12.0.0 in my Avid account.

I just want PT11, as simple as that. Without any subscriptions or if-i-dont-subscribe-i-miss-out-on-this-n-that. And I'll gladly pay for it. It's sort of "how-difficult-can-it-be-to-take-my-money?" kind of a thing. If PT11 costs the same as PT12, I get the point.

Just go to 12. Look at it as an upgrade with support. It's Not a subscription unless you go that way (Monthly).

Read the system requirements as well as the help us help you. As not knowing your system hinders responses.

You are completey missing what I wrote. When you upgrade to PT12 you get a combo license asset that allows you to run PT11 as well as PT10 and PT12. You do NOT need to install PT12 if you don't want to.

You are also confusing the subscription model and the 'forever' model. The subscription model is where you buy PT usage a month at a time and the forever model gets you the upgrade to PT12 and a year's worth of major updates. That means if a new version of PT comes out in that year time frame you get it free. If you don't pay for the next year when you current year runs out you still have permanent usage of PT; you just won't get any new version updates but you will get bug fixes.

I just bought the P12 upgrade, but there are no PT11 download links in my product download links, only PT12 links. Where are these P11 download links?
