If you are this:

Faculty and staff—Teachers and staff employed by an accredited, government-recognized public or private primary or secondary school, local education authority, or public or private university or college, for-profit career/vocational schools that grant degrees and/or certificates, and schools for instrumental instruction/tuition


Then you can do this:

Teachers, faculty, and staff—You must show evidence of current employment at a government-recognized public or private primary or secondary school, local education authority, public or private university or college, for-profit career/vocational school that grants degrees and/or certificates, or school for instrumental instruction/tuition by providing one of the following:

A copy of a faculty or staff paycheck stub that includes your (the employee's) name and employer (school) name
An employer’s written confirmation on school letterhead or certificate of employment


And you buy it like this:

Available education purchases for individuals
Eligible students and educators may purchase individual “Education Pricing” versions of our software at significant discounts from the Avid Online Store or an Avid Authorized Reseller. Students and educators must provide proof of eligibility (as outlined above) to receive a serial number for their product.


avid.com/academic-eligibility

I suggest talking to Avid about the exact steps you should take in your situation before making a payment or waiting for expiry. Just so there are no gotchas or interruptions in access. At least, if the payment portal is confusing, reach out to them. If you poke around and it seems to make good sense, maybe you are okay. Can't hurt to ask actual customer support. (Or a reseller at a nearby good audio/music store.)
