Same here. Glad I purchased Adobe Audition CS6 a couple of months back before this happened. Adobe was giving the option of going cloud based with a monthly subscription rate versus purchasing outright and I went for outright purchase.
Let me put forth a dangerous scenario: say Avid goes to monthly subscription and no longer offers outright purchase of software and hardware. What's to stop them from changing your iLok asset to the new scheme? Next time you go to synch your iLok/add new licenses and you find out your PT asset has changed.
