Default Missing Pro Tools Perpetual License

I can't get Pro Tools 2019 to work - I started a case but it just says "Case In Cue" I can get Pro Tools 12.5 to work but not anything newer - my support plan expires in September 2020.

Pro Tools licensing changed at 12.6, you need a different actual license key tp run beyond that. I'll bet you have that license sitting in your ilok account that needs to be downloaded to your iLok. Look at the "Available" licenses in ILM.

You would loose that bet - I am very familiar with Pro Tools licensing ...
I just feel that taking several days to even respond to case is not what I call good customer service. Having install Logic Pro and converting files to edit or downgrading my OS to run Pro Tools 12.5 is not a solution....

I didn't say how much I was willing to bet :-( Hope Avid gets this sorted for you.

Have you synchronised your ilok key in the ilok license manager lately? There is a hidden date written on your license, which means PT versions released later than that will not work. You are on support plan so sync should go through nicely. If it won't work, ask Avid Support what the heck.

There is a date called "Release Limit" but that release limit is ONLY on licenses called "Pro Tools Perpetual Bundle"
and if you look at the title of this thread "Missing Pro Tools Perpetual License"
My account is missing this license therefore ONLY 12.0-12.5 will work with the license on my account

My support/upgreade plan is valid until September 2020. So I have a current support/upgrade plan. I did contact Avid support a week ago and I have only crickets about my case.

Post your case number here (did the system ever give you one?) and folks will get it followed up on.

Your account has all the required licenses, the license just isn't updated. AFAIK, latest version PT 2019.6 is still looking for a PT12 ilcense, just that the release limit date needs to be fresh enough.

My license bundle has the following:
- Pro Tools 10
- Pro Tools 11
- Pro Tools 12
- Pro Tools DigiLink I/O
- Pro Tools HD 10
- Pro Tools HD 11
- Pro Tools HD 12
- Pro Tools Perpetual
- Pro Tools Ultimate Perpetual

See, no mention of 2018/2019 at all

I may be wrong in what I just posted. Started to wonder what is the purpose of those "perpetual" licenses? Might be the 2018/2019 thing after all.

Anyway, you need to wait until Avid gets your licenses updated if any of the self-support isn't helping
