In Safari I get past that bug but in the checkout, if you're a business with a vat number you can only use that paying with a credit card, if you switch to Paypal it insists on charging vat.

I went to Thomann and two clicks it was bought and paid for, your loss Avid!

Now, I'm on day 2 of trying to download pro tools through their stupid Avid Link app. It's taking forever and there is no resume for downloads should the connection get interrupted which happens a lot. Painful painful painful.

All that aside, the website is awful, so complicated, messy, and ugly, my Avid is full of complex terms and stuff that doesn't work. Terrible experience.
If I was a new customer I'd be put off ever trying to buy pro tools. God, I miss Digidesign.
Moan over but still trying to download pro tools.
I never use Avid link to down load PT it self I always do the from View My Products page on my account page -just a thought
