Default Upgrade Pro Tools 9 Vanilla to PT12 Teachers

Im trying to help a colleague of mine upgrade his PT system. Currently he's on 9 vanilla and wants to upgrade to 12 perpetual licence with a teacher/educational discount.

1) Could someone tell me if this is the correct one?

2) If his PT9 is non academic is this still the correct upgrade path? In the past I know this was possible but I'm not sure of the current scenario.

3) If he buys the standard $99 perpetual upgrade licence can he still get updates as they are released?

Thanks

Yes, I did this earlier this year with my upgrade. Still perpetual and still received all updates since 12.0.

However, currently there is really no discount for the edu version like there was before (when the regular update was $199), as the regular version is also only $99. At this point, you may want to just get the regular version for the same price since the edu version cannot be resold if ever you wanted to sell the license.

Someone correct me if I am wrong!

Thanks for that DJ Hellfire,

that's good to know a similar upgrade worked for you.

Just to clarify did you do an upgrade from a non academic version of PT to PT12 academic?

I guess the difference between the $99 standard upgrade and the academic one is that the latter has 12months support plan. Although no support is needed, at this end, in using the software. I'm wondering if not having it would limit what updates can be made.
