Dear Mr. Avid
as a long time Digidesign customer (since 1987) I am thoroughly disappointed - not being able to update older versions of Pro tools is serious way to anger your customers. Hey I know the Digidesign guys who all use to be musicians are are gone now, replaced by IT engineers. Hey guys guess what? regular people do not NEED to upgrade constantly MOST people upgrade when then NEED to. Having to pay a reinstatement fee (or an annual plan) maybe is a bit of slap in the face. But the ABILITY NOT TO UPGRADE and old license is a most definitely a kick in the pants. Most of your customer are Mac folks and I buy Logic Pro for $199.00 with FREE lifetime upgrades.
Your company always seems to find a way to anger your customers.
