Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
Well, this change in direction and push for a subscription model for vanilla Pro Tools customers definitely came from the very top - what I find laughable is what Jeff Rosica said in a Sonicscoop interview not long after he was appointed as the new CEO:
Id say, first of all, as the new president and CEO, I plan on continuing to build a really strong company that will bring the customer community even more to the forefront of the company. I highly doubt the recent pricing changes have the customer communitys interest at heart, nor does it show how it brings that community to the forefront of the company... very hypocritical. The rest of the interview doesnt get any better: https://sonicscoop.com/2018/07/30/wh...eo-jeff-rosica

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
... and whilst DUC officially represents the community, this thread has lost the stats (apparently due to being moved?) that determine its ranking in the PT2019 forum and would currently position it at the top of the first page.
Does this normally occur for a moved post? |

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
Just to be clear...... if you have a perpetual lic and if you stop playing the annual update and support plan.... PT isnt going to STOP working!!! that is just nonsense even Avid has restated this as recently as 28th May 2919. So lets stop the fake news if you have a perpetual lic then you DONT have a subscription plan/rental where as at the end of the contract itll stop working....
Avid Knowledge Base Pro Tools Licensing: What is the difference between perpetual and subscription licenses Last Updated : May 28, 2019 Products Affected : Pro Tools, Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools Ultimate If I purchase the yearly subscription paid monthly will I own Pro Tools at the end of the year? In other words, is there a financing option? A perpetual license (included with upgrade plans) is a license that does not expire. It continues to authorize Pro Tools even if you do not renew your plan. A subscription license expires after a specific term (1 month or 1 year). Subscriptions can be set to auto-renew (see the option listed with your subscription in my.avid.com) which refreshes the expiration date of the license in your iLok account and continues to provide installers via your Avid account. Subscriptions can be considered similar to rental licenses. Your monthly subscription payments do not contribute towards ownership of the software. Purchase of the perpetual product is required to own the Pro Tools license outright.

Fact is, that the negativity is devastating, as expected from that announcement. Not only in DUC but in every other music community out there. The message is loud and clear but it falls on deaf ears. Cheers!

Paying the yearly $99/199 fee does not keep your perpetual lic up to date. It has nothing to do with that. You already own PT paying the update and support plan allows you to keep PT at that latest version and youre ability to call Avid support if and when things go pear shaped.

Re: ProTools price adjustments from July 1st.
The problem for folks comes in when they buy a new mac with an old PT license. There is usually not any way to (easily if at all)back rev those boxes to an earlier os. Windows users don't have that particular issue if they are resourceful enough to build their own box.
