Not to be a downer or anything, but their policy has always been that if you sell the hardware, the license becomes the property of the new owner of the hardware. It has been like this for as long as I can remember. Here's a link to the info about selling HD hardware: http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/self...p?DocId=363631 So, unfortunately if you sell your hardware and keep the license to use natively, you're out of luck when it comes to upgrades. I think at that point you have to buy PT with the CPTK. I don't work for Avid, and I'm not speaking officially, but.... -Ryan |

Re: In Response to Pro Tools HD 10 Feedback
I agree with the above posts... These things have been asked in a number of different ways, some not so nice admittedly..
The answers have been few and far between, confusing, disingenuous (to be polite), and combined with a 'heavy-handedness' fostering little to no goodwill towards avid. Still, and to hopefully allay the risk of my being chucked out of here, I hope for an equitable solution so that folks can just continue on.. As has been stated before, There is little doubt as to the usefulness of some of the features in 10, the direction that Avid wants to go with hardware and such, etc... but with the way they are getting there.. and what's happening to a large chunk of (heretofore) loyal users. One day perhaps this will all make sense.. but it seems to me that the one thing we have in common right now, is a black eye. Peace!

Re: In Response to Pro Tools HD 10 Feedback
Hey Ryan,
Thanks for the link... it just means more ambiguity! In fact, it seems that the form to submit for transfer of ownership (perhaps) predates the PT9 way of doing things. I.e. according to the form, even for an old MBox (not even MBox 2!) I would need to yield the software to the person I'm selling it to. Sometimes the form talks about software, and other places it mentions a license, but again, this might be pre-PT9 Digi "license." When PT9 was released, my limited understanding is that we "converted" the serial number and the "dongle" (MBoxes, etc) to an iLok. When I upgraded one of my MBoxes, that serial number has been "used-up" in terms of turning it into an iLok asset as regards software. If Avid really meant that I couldn't sell my Mbox without the ProTools iLok, then there would be no motivation ever to buy any Avid hardware (as regards less mission-critical setups)... It would be ludicrous if I couldn't sell my MBox hardware "as-is"... to a third-party... and retain my PT9 (non-HD) license. The HD license might be more tricky, but I actually thought that when we gave our core card serial numbers for the HD9 upgrade, the iLok as regards software became the gatekeeper for the ability to use that software. There are those that would buy spare core cards, accel cards, etc. at facilities or larger-shops. They do not need to buy my HD license. I believe, but could be mistaken, that the form needs updating, because after PT9, the whole license/authorization scheme had drastically changed. At least, I hope the form needs updating. |

Re: In Response to Pro Tools HD 10 Feedback
OK,enough talk,,,Hey Max where is this,, you spoke of it last week?
I have been all over this messed up web site of yours,,( a whole nuther topic) can't find it,,Far as I know it is now " next week" With respect,, Mario www.mariomassi.com every tune here( 200 +) was done with Pro Tools ( my real name) Pro Tools 10 14 Day Trial - The best way to understand the value of Pro Tools HD 10 is to use it. Currently, that’s hard to do, unless you buy it, so we’re introducing a 14-day trial for Pro Tools and Pro Tools HD 10 starting next week on the Avid website. With the 14-day trial everyone will be able to experience the speed, power and capability of Pro Tools 10 first hand, and with no risk |

As for the "even if they would cost the same" part...that doesn't even make sense. You make the case of not being able to buy a TV today for the same price you'd have paid for a TV twelve years ago...you actually can. Twelve years ago I bought a TV for $699. Today I can go out and buy a TV for $699. It will be bigger (at least the screen will be) and it will bet "better", but the price will be the same. We're talking about more powerful systems here as well. Quote:

"C'mon, it's like, 6am in California. You could cut them a little slack"
Just because their house is on fire and burning ,no reason to be in any hurry to convince us to buy..I guess they dont need any more sales? I am a pro tools lover, never a bad word out of my mouth, I cant speak for anyone else and I wont , I just need to make some a move, and get back to work,, Like a lot of other folks,I had a lot of problems on 8,more problems on 9( where I am at now,) I just tried a demo of Prosonus Studio one-2,, last night,They had better have a look see at it, I was very impressed,,I do NOT want to start all over again,,, but when my income is on the line,, I will do whats best for me,, not AVID,, Like getting up at 5 am and going to work,, Of course,, I will cut them some slack,, just like I did on every version, up to now,,Are they going to cut us some? That's the real question,, M Last edited by sofakat; 10-31-2011 at 06:43 AM. Reason: spelling |
