Default explain please Pro Tools HD 12.6 and higher require a Pro Tools DigiLink I/O license

what does this actually mean.
Pro Tools HD 12.6 and higher require a Pro Tools DigiLink I/O license to fully access HDX and HD|Native hardware and interfaces.
Is there any license I could mistakenly buy that would not allow me to simply connect my hd16x16 analog to my hdx card. Ill be upgrading soon so I would like to know more about this.

Just be aware that you will need that Digilink license too. To the best of my knowledge, your upgrade purchase SHOULD include that, but remember to ask. In the worst case, you can buy a permanent Digilink license for $299. Folks that might not get that included are probably buying Pro Tools HD software as a move up from the non-HD version(so they probably don't have any HD hardware to worry about)

So if you buy the perpetual licence you wont be able to connect your i/o?
but the licence is sold separate for 299, I have HD9 what licence do i need and do i own that licence forever so i never have to upgrade again to use HD12 forever. Can Ieven upgrade hd9 to 12 iv found things that say i can but iv found things that say i cant

Yes. At a minimum, it will have to be an HD license. If you purchase a previously owned iLOK with a perpetual PT12 HD license, it may or may not include the Digilink I/O license. If it does not, you can only run up to PT 12.5.2 HD.

If you pay $999 for an HD reinstatement from AVID, you should get both the PT12/11/10 HD licenses AND the Digilink I/O license. You will also get a one year upgrade to stay current. If you do not renew the HD "Plan" for $399, you will be stuck at whatever the last revision of PT12 HD you had when your "Plan" expired.
