There was an older thread posted on this subject. After the 12.7 update, you couldn’t use the 12.5 perpetual license. It was announced after the 12.6 update. If you had an eligible plan after the update, which in my case, expired on 3/1/17, you could have the updated perpetual license compatible with 12.7 put on your account. My software downloads are all 12.7. However, I can’t boot up pro tools due to an older 2015 perpetual license, even though the newer update was applied before 3/1/2017. I need an admin to update my perpetual license, so I can use the product I purchased within the timeframe. Thanks

I'm going to take a stab at "decoding" this. I'm going to assume you have PT HD - now called Ultimate. If so, then to update from 12.5 to 12.6 and above you would need a) an upgrade and support plan that was current - ie not expired and b) a new Digilink license that was part of the upgrade to 12.6 and c) a new iLok license. If you do not have PT HD, then, from 12.6 on you needed the new iLok license only.

If you let your plan expire and you were outside the 30 day grace period, then I don't see anyway you're going to get past 12.5 unless you pay the penalty to get back on plan.

And, maybe tell us why you "need" to update?

It’s a support ticket issue. It can be addressed by renewing the support plan.
