But if that is true I guess the work around would be not to crossgrade / switch and let your support plan just end so you still have all your perp licenses on an ilok, then open a new account under a new user name with a new ilok and start a subscription plan.

Avid do not deserve Pro Tools.

Yes, the crossgrade is still a complete con. However, you can keep your perpetual license and grab a subscription simply by not crossgrading, you don't need any fancy workarounds. |

Re: New Pricing
Well I don't know whether to laugh or cry.. I bought 5 reinstatements and when i register them will be good to December 2024..
I just hope Avid are around that long! I couldn't help myself at the 95$ price and no matter how angry I am right now at the state of PT (30% performance loss using VI's in 2019 vs 12/2018) and basically no updates the last few years.. I keep going back to it.. I doubt I would ever succumb t paying $220 USD for just one year so...if it's not where I want it to be in 5 years and they haven't got more attractive renewal options, I guess I'll re evaluate then. Everyone in this topic is correct to complain about the new pricing.. Let's be honest here.. If PT had suddenly come in line feature wise with other DAWs and had graphical pitch control, better elastic audio, folders well implemented, and the other things we ask for like more than 32 inputs for core audio and so on.. this topic might have still been started, but I reckon a large percentage of us would have been OK with it.. Personally I would have said, "not happy about this increase, but so happy where Avid have taken PT that I'll happily pay it to do my part to keep them in business and drive along further updates like these". I think the main reason most of us are annoyed is what we are getting for the money.. As I said before, i am certain avid are trying to nuke perpetual licenses, so buying these 5 years support from thomman, keeps me going with my perpetual. Either that or they desperately need the cash and just hedging their bets that everyone will pay the increased prices. That said, for a brand new never used PT in their lives before, the sub is pretty appealing and competitively priced with the likes of adobe audition sub, etc.. and PT is much better software than that.. If i was new to PT I'd probably go sub myself for the 2 years at 79$ they had, then I think it was 25$ a month or something after that or 299 a year? All I can do is continue to have some (thus far unfounded) faith in Avid, continue to send them bug reports and feature requests as often as I can, and just hope one day they improve the software for all of us.. I encourage anyone else with a support plan or sub to do the same.. I have been on Apple's case about the Logic automation bug for over a decade and I will never give up.. Just have to be as persistent as we can when time allows. I made my decision, and it is what is for now, for me at least... Anyone with a vanilla perpetual I do recommend thomann before they sell out. I don't know if they also have a good deal for ultimate users... I would like some of the audio features in Ultimate myself, but that's where I draw the line.. You see.. Nuendo is the same price, sure (well nuendo is cheaper) but there is no mandatory ridiculous yearly cost.. so.. if i could splurge once for ultimate then just pay the vanilla support price, I would have done that ages ago.. Why does it even make sense to charge ultimate users more for support anyway? Why would they have more issues than vanilla users? Aren't vanilla users the majority of the user base overall? That one confuses me. Peace.
