What happened to my plugins?

[Paul Nelthorpe]

Hi, I bought a perpetual Pro Tools License a few years ago.

I was on a pretty old computer, so I only ever used pro tools 11. I've just recently upgraded my computer and downloaded PT 2018 (the most recent version I have a license for)

Everything is going okay I guess, other than PT running like an absolute slug because I'm on Mojave :'(

The only thing I'm wondering is, what happened to my plugins?

There are a bunch of plugins (tape echo, orange phaser, studio reverb, black op distortion) which I used to have in pro tools 11.
Now when I boot up pro tools 2018, my old session files tell me that I don't own these plugins, and I am redirected to avids website to buy them.

Has something gone wrong? Or do more recent versions of pro tools require separate licenses for these plugins?


Thanks if you read this far, any help is appreciated.
