Pro Tools HD 8 to 9 (free upgrade) ?
Just bought a new HD setup which comes with HD 8, new, sealed in the box. Also has the latest new ilok version 2 which had PT8 and HEAT on it.
I've had a bunch of HD systems before and the registration seemed straightforward. This time the only registration card that it had was an HD 8 backup license, which I registered. I was told this PT 8 licenses can be upgraded to PT 9 HD, but even after calling Avid, they told me to just wait 3-4 days until I get an email saying I can upgrade to PT 9 HD. Anyone else in this situation? Seems like the registration process is different now. |

I bought new HD8 license a couple of weeks ago, and after registering it I got immediately e-mail from AVID about free update to HD9.

I am interested in this also. I bought HD 8 new boxed and registered it 11/27. Would I get a free upgrade to 9? I never got an email about it

I'm with you. Our studio bought 3 copies in the mail sealed PT 8 (new Iloks with HEAT) and I have registered them all and I have yet to recieve any email. I haven't had time to upgrade the rooms from 8.1cs2 anyways at this time but I figured I would have to call Avid to get them to honer this. I would need to upgrade a 4 other rooms as well at the same time. kd |

Same boat. December 14th HD3 PCIx to PCIe upgrade came with PT8, new ilok and Heat. (Had to do it, after Magma had been a complete waste of time and money, never, ever again)
Anyway, activated PT8 backup license. Still waiting for PT 9 free activation email. By the way, on this upgrade, registration card came with registration number blank. Maybe because its just an upgrade and registers automatically?

Re: Pro Tools HD 8 to 9 (free upgrade) ?
yup, my registration card was empty as well. Only had the key on the bottom instead of the key on the top like the old yellow registration cards.
I wish someone from Avid would help instead of saying to just wait. Can't they manually enter this information ? |

Keep in mind that ProTools upgrades are not eligible for a free copy of PT9. If what you really bought was an upgrade (V7 to V8, for instance) you're not eligible. If you exchanged PCI to PCIe and received a boxed version of PT8 you're not eligible.

I hope that's not what's going on in your case. |
