Upgrade/Crossgrade process
Does anyone know the process of the crossgrade from PT LE 8.0.4 to PT9 in terms of what will be asked for to 'qualify' for the crossgrade pricing?
I noticed when I upgraded my PT HD 8.1 - one window asked me for my 'qualifying hardware' serial number. Good move on Avid's part in preventing people from just buying an eBay asset for ProTools HD 7.4 or 8.0 and then trying to get a PT HD9 crossgrade pricing. Good of them to tie it to the serial number of hardware you own.
But I'm wondering what they will ask my son who just 'days' before the announcement on PT9 bought a new MBox3, simply as a 'dongle' to open PT LE since he works exclusively in Logic and just wanted ProTools for studio compatibility. We also bought Digitranslator (needless to say I'm HOPIN' mad!! - a complete waste of money now).
But since at Avid's member page you can't 'register' software that came in a box. I'm wondering what they will ask for to 'prove' that my son is a ProTools LE 8.0 owner and be eligible for the upgrade pricing to PT9 (non HD).
Any thoughts?
