Any chance for a break on Perpetual license renewal
I've been with PT since 2001. Hate to think how much I have spent on it over the years. This is a friends and family hobby studio.
i.e non-income earning Any chance Avid will cut us long time users a break in the near future? I see there is a break for Subscription folks. Recently bought Logic/FCP and MainStage for less than my Perpetual annual renewal....WTF I would love to say I am easily moving into LOGIC but 62 year old brains are not as elastic as one would hope. The truth is I LIKE how Pro Tools works and the latest versions are as stable as they have ever been. I just think those of us who have been with the platform for over two decades should get a break. OK : Rant over. For Now |

I've decided on a different kind of break - a break from the support plan. I got one of the reinstatement licenses when reduced in a sale, and when my current plan runs out I'll just hold fire til I really need to update or think it's worth it. Since the reinstatement was only 25% more than a regular subscription, I'd only have to wait 3 months before I'd break even, and every month after that I save.

Let it expire and it’s a much heftier price tag to reinstate. (Don’t get me wrong, I always grumble a bit when I pay my $399 every year.)

My reinstatement (because I stopped my “support” plan at PT 12.4 Ultimate) was $1199…..
They keep changing their minds, too. For awhile they had done away with reinstatements altogether, so if you let your Ultimate support plan lapse, you had to buy the software again ($2599 last time I checked.) From where I sit, that’s a pretty hefty price tag. |

Path of least resistance here is just renew the support plan every year.
