Or you choose to keep both the bundled license and your current license
Or you can extend your current license PT Reg or Ultimate for 1 additional which is what I am going to do

I wonder if the 3rd party plugins are just built into the Bundled PT regular license so that they may not show separately from Bundled PT license in your Products Page like the Complete Plug in bundle does ??

yes I am sure they can sort it out.

BTW when I was downloading all my Products to go on my new iMac I had the same issue with Meoldyne Essential for like three or 4 tries it kept saying the serial number was in the wrong format then the next day I tried it again and it accepted it ???????????????

This is all very encouraging can't wait
OK I took your approach to try to ge get this thing registered, you know trying it on another day. IT WORKED, kinda.

It still told me that I did not have a current plan to extend, BUT I CLEARLY DO AND AM CURRENT as I have said before. There was no way to quit or back out of the registration to try to correct anything.

NOW I have two Carbons in My Products section. This first one with no SW and the second one with the correct serial number of the unit, AND all of the SW AND and new Pro Tools subscription which I did NOT want. As stated before I wanted to extend my current support plan.

At this point however, I'd be happy if they just get the registration straightened
out so no one else has issues. Using HEAT for 12 months, and the complete plugin package for 12 months ALMOST is a wash for me. I still would have rather my current support plan have been extended though.

I really do love this unit though. Well done Avid
