[unkJE]

Reinstatements are for Pro Tools HD9 - and any subsequent version, all the way up to Ultimate

There are Sellers and there are Shysters – it’s pretty easy to discern.

Look for an eBay Seller with lots of Sales and 100% eBay Feedback from satisfied customers.

Another DUC Member has already vouched for this Seller.


Although Sellers using PayPal complain about PayPal’s high fees, Buyers using PayPal get a Refund if what they receive is not what was advertised – or if it’s broken, or just simply does not arrive.
Refunds can take 2 to 3 months while PayPal chases the Seller, but, as I’ve said before, the wait is certainly “better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick”!
Buyer pays return Postage – but, in this case, there is no postage, as all you’re buying is a Code that you get by email.

Q: If I purchase a reinstatement and do not immediately redeem, will it expire?
A: No. When you purchase a reinstatement from a reseller the code does not expire and you are able to use it at a future time. (Important to note that the clock on your Software Updates and Support Plan starts when you redeem the code in my.avid.com/products/redemption.) Avid will continue to honor reinstatement redemptions after we discontinue selling them.

How does paying €2500 make any sense at all?

For $63.99/month (that's $768/year) I get:

- Always the latest version of Ultimate
- Full priority support plan (whatever that means)
- All of Avid/AiR plugins
- HEAT

Seriously. What's the parameter to say how much a "permanent" license that doesn't have access to the latest version for more than a year is worth, when a subscription gives you all of that and more? And don't forget I'm paying monthly, not having to put such an amount out of my pocket at once.

I just purchased a reinstatement from this seller. I received it within minutes and it is in my Avid account with a full year of support. I applied it to an HD 9. Don't waste any time waiting. This guy is legit.
