Pretty sure that only applies if you've already let your support plan expire ( or you never bought in to the upgrade plan - and are on PT 9, 10, or 11).

That upgrade + 1 year free is NOT $99, it's the cost of the reinstatement fee - $299, and you get the additional 2nd year of support (worth $99) thrown in too.

As always with Avid, it pays dividends NOT to be loyal, but to hold out for a better offer - more so with the new business model, than ever before : when Avid used to release a major upgrade every few years, you could make an informed decision, based up features etc, whether the upgrade had value to you - now you pay up front, and hope that Avid deliver something worthwhile somewhere along the line.
