Default How many edu-licenses for one student?

Hi all,
Being a Student, I've just bought and licensed one educational version of pro tools 11 but, since I travel a lot, I was wondering if I am able to buy another one with the advantage of the edu discounts.
Can a single student buy and activate more then one EDU version of Pro Tools?

Many Thanks!

The short answer is yes.

I know with 100% certainty, because I've done it myself, that the scheme in place allows students to buy one student licence of Pro Tools per year.

For example, if you buy one on 14th August 2015, you will be allowed to buy another on 14th August 2016.

To be more accurate, you could actually buy the next copy before the 12 months was up, but you wouldn't be successfully verified as eligible for another student licence activation code until 12 months had passed.

The key information regarding this is located here ...

http://www.avid.com/US/resources/Academic-Eligibility

You should read it all.

If you scroll down the page, you'll find, near the bottom, a section headed 'Restrictions'.

The second bullet point of that section says ...

"Students and Teachers are limited to one product approval per individual per year for each product type (Pro Tools, Sibelius, and Media Composer)."

The other most common question asked by students is answered in the 'Footnotes' section below 'Restrictions'.

The second bullet point of that section says ...

"For higher education students, “current” is defined as within the last six months. "

This means that you can buy (or more accurately, activate) a student licence of Pro Tools up to six months AFTER you have finished studies, but only if you are a higher education student.

You do know that you can just take your iLok with you when you travel and/or use it on as many computers as you want...
