Avid are getting increasingly Nazi in their policies and treatment of their (long standing) customers. They will no doubt cite the general industry move to the subscription business model but I'm less than impressed with what Pro Tools has cost me in recent years compared with the performance of the product.

You might be able to pick up a reinstatement product still at dealers but when they are gone you'll be locked out.

Anyhow, I personally chose to become locked out! I'll get a subscription if there is something I can't live without. The subscription cost is little different from the annual upgrade Avid tax to stay in the loop. Until then I'll stick at the version I'm with. Pro Tools is costing too much and offering too little just a handful of features. I've taken my Avid tax and spent it elsewhere. Whatever you do, do not take the option to relinquish your permanent Pro Tools iLok license. That is a straight up con!

Well, if you 'forget" to renew your Annual Plan and that is expired entirely (you haven't renewed during the 30 days grace period, that is), it will set you back $1k, to get back on the wagon.

Check Thomann for better pricing. Talk to one of their reps, but this may be what you're looking for: https://www.thomann.de/gb/avid_pro_t...e_download.htm
