Default Split hd upgrade fee like pt vanilla

Title say it all...

In the last month the LE version is changed to now 99 if you dont want "support"

Why cant we, DO THIS FOR HD

Most users would require upgrades. But support?

Support is good for some , in 15 years Ive used it 3x
Ill pay " when " i need it


More smaller studios/ single person facilities people would less feel ripped by investing in HD.

The HD users {like myself} who are NOT big post houses with corporate budgets, [who maintain their systems very well for their needs]. have a better reason to upgrade and get on the " plan" which is good, for , ...AVID

for AVID
More people would upgrade = less older systems to support.

MORE HD HARDWARE TO SELL

Who AGREES

Even more so for ex CPTK upgraders and others who don't have Avid HD hardware!

+a million! I want updates but no support. And given that I paid a fortune for a few additional features (these days) it should not cost a lot more than vanilla updates either.

I want updates but no support. +2 millions.
Pro tools user manual is the best support for me.

As an ex-CPTKer I wholeheartedly agree. Upgrades with no support or plugins would be ideal.

That is unless they pull the 10/11 licenses from the upgrade-only bundle. 12.2.1 is getting closer, but I'd be hard pressed to give up my HD10/11 licenses.
