Pro Tools 11 upgrade installation symmetry

[pretzellogic]

I was running PT 8 LE on a PowerMac G5. The G5 has expired and I will replace it with a new MAC running Mountain Lion.
Since the new version of the MAC will not have ProTools installed, what is the proper procedure for purchasing/installing ProTools 11 upgrade ?

thanks,

You would want to get the crossgrade to PT11 from LE, which is $399.

It is based on the serial number of your LE hardware (002/003/Mbox 2, etc.).

It is also a full installer, so you don't need to try to install PT8 on the new computer (it wouldn't work anyway).


Alternatively, for $699, ($300 more), you could buy a new Eleven Rack, and it will come with the free upgrade to PT11, plus 4 free plugins. If you play guitar (or record people who do), this might be a better way to go.
