Re: New subscription deal???
As of July, it'll be half as much money as perpetual, to renew every year.
That's it. This is pretty clearly another step toward a fully (and only) Adobe style subscription based model.

Re: New subscription deal???
but adobe is a well run company. Avid is riddled with debt and every day I fully expect to see it go bankrupt in the news. Im not giving up my living betting on the off chance that avid will be around for the next 20 years.

Re: New subscription deal???
And the Adobe subscription is a fairly good deal.. Have you seen all the apps you get with it? Not so with this overpriced subscription from AVID. I would be tempted if AVIDs other products were grouped together for 49.00 a month. As it stands @ 29 a month, it is not a good deal for me.

Re: New subscription deal???
You DON'T! Because it wouldn’t be smart to give up a license you own to spend money on a monthly rental you don't own.
And Avid is counting on that. |

Re: New subscription deal???
Exactly, I can't believe this is happening. No more renewal for me....

Re: New subscription deal???
Yeah you’re saving $100 per year not $200, but with that, you give up the option standing on a certain version because you surrender your perpetual license.
As others have pointed out, you can only play if you pay. You’ll lose the ability to open any of your sessions once you stop paying you subscription because PT will cease to work. While I agree $199 per year isn’t that huge of a deal, and is a business expense, or even the price of yearly hobby if that’s what you’re doing, it is the way it is being rolled out. I for one will not surrender a perpetual license.
