From PT9 to 10,11,12 academic upgrade
Hi
I just bought a new macbook pro which came with Sierra. So now I have to buy a new license, since pt9 isn't supported on sierra. Turns out I have a few questions: Is it possible to buy an upgrade for "teacher/student academic" and use it to upgrade my existing Pro Tools 9 completely regular, non-academic install? Also, since moving from 9 to 11 or 12 will kill all of my old rtas plugins, is it possible to continue to use my old pt9 version on my old computer, and a new 11 or 12 version on my new machine. Or, will upgrading my license remove my ability to use anything below 10,11 or 12? Thanks! |

For now, to be able to run Pro Tools 9, you can do a dual boot system on your Mac running a supported OS with PT Version 9 on one drive and the other drive running your current OS version. To upgrade or crossgrade to Pro Tools 12 for Education, you must be a current student or teacher and own one of the following Pro Tools licenses, which will need to be surrendered upon activation:
To activate this upgrade, you must be a current student or teacher and will be asked to verify your eligibility after purchasing. You must also own one of the Pro Tools licenses above. You will receive a serial number to use your software—upon approval—after submitting proof of education eligibility to Avid. |

Thanks for your reply.
Sadly I don't own any of the versions listed in your post. I should be able to obtain academic eligibility though. So I guess this means I'll have to fork over a lot more cash to upgrade. I was hoping there would be no difference in the actual software. |
