Default Upgrading from PT11 --> PT11 . . . :-)

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

For what seems like months I've been deluged with e-mails from Avid telling me I must must must upgrade to PT11, and I'll get support and updates through 3/2016 for $199. While I agree that's a good price for an upgrade, what if I ALREADY HAVE PT11? I was an early adopter, and today, following up on another e-mail received from Avid, their blog said this:
Already got Pro Tools 11 or Pro Tools | HD 11? Buy the upgrade/support plan now and receive all future upgrades through March 31, 2015—Coming soon - See more at: http://www.avidblogs.com/aes-los-ang...are-licensing/
Confusion reigns.

Can anyone direct me to the right option for someone who already owns PT11 and is interested in getting in on the support?

Thanks!

The support/upgrade plan for CURRENT PT11 users has not been published yet. You will have until the end of 2015 as I understand, to get the support/upgrade option.

Some users report the price will be lower, some say the same as the PT11 upgrade. I think a little lower would be best since we already paid the upgrade fee and just want to add support/future upgrades.

Stay tuned.

I would advise not holding your breath waiting for a discount.

Your $199 is for the service plan.

For a whole lot of reasons that I think will soon become evident, Avid just wants to get everybody on PT 11...

Just rockin'...what more is there?
