As soon as the groups within Avid can provide definitive info on the HD subscriptions we will. I thought a lot of the q/a was addressed in the Pro Tools 12 FAQ located here: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...-Licensing-FAQ PT 11.x maintenance updates will continue through 2015 and I know that at least one is in the pipeline and I am sure more will follow. You have until 12/31/15 to decide what you wish to do so if you are leary of the fixes for PT 11.x then wait a bit and see what we deliver in that code base. Marianna

Re: Please Avid We All Really Want You to Be Successful
Existing 11 and 11HD HD owners do have at least ten months to decide if they want to buy or renew a support plan after everybody knows exactly what new features have accumulated in PT 12 over that period. There's no reason to expect any movement from Avid until that time. These complaints are all speculation and Avid would be stupid to change course based entirely on this sort of negative speculation.

Let's be honest, this is simply corporate spin. You are trying to spin it as something "good" for us .... that is not gonna fly. This new rental plan is not good for anyone but AVID. Now, you have a job to do, I get that. You don't make the policy. But please stop insulting us by trying to spin this as something good for the customer. kasper |

If a user is on a perpetual license and a support plan, whether they are the HD or regular version, and then they let their support plan lapse, the only way for that user to acquire a new version thereafter is to either buy a new perpetual license at full price or get on a subscription plan. I think I am correct up to this point. So if that lapsed user decided to subscribe for a few months and then stop and again let things lapse, what happens after that? Is he/she on a subscription forever at that point or can they jump on a new perpetual license again at full price? If they let the subscription lapse for example 3 years, can they subscribe for 1 month, pay just that month's rental price and then let it lapse for another 2 years?

I don't know how you got that impression but if you let your PT license lapse, and you wish to re-buy at some point down the road, you will have 2 options. Subscription license Perpetual license Of course the pricing will be different but we will offer both like we do in MC land. Marianna

However, how long these remain available is anybody's guess - the subscription has been engineered to be the most attractive (relative to other Pro Tools licensing options; not necessarily competitor DAWs) so the perpetual licence may just be a device to transition those of us who already have them into the 'new world'. By the time users have renewed a couple of times, who's to say that this option won't be dropped altogether, leaving only subscriptions? |

Re: Please Avid We All Really Want You to Be Successful
So, will it be possible in 2016 and forward to buy an HD Software-Only Perpetual license?... without hardware?

Re: Please Avid We All Really Want You to Be Successful
Will there be an HD subscription without HD hardware ownership proof?
What if you have multiple HD software licenses not tied to hardware? kasper |
