Default Question About Pro Tools 2023 & Licensing

Hello

I bought a new Macbook Pro M2 Pro and I am in the process of reinstalling everything back again.

Now the 2023.3 Version is solid ? Any Known Bugs ?

What is more important is how do I know which plugins will remain active after my coverage ends in June ? My Pro Tools License is perpetual and my coverage ends in June ...

AIR Effects Bundle and AIR Instrument Bundles are Apple Silicon Ready ?

The Playcell, Synthcell Plugins will remain active ?

How do i know which other plugins remain after my coverage expires ?

Thank you

Everything in the Avid Complete Plug-in Bundle will stop working if you let your support plan lapse. See other answers above.

Yes. Any of the bundled software and inner circle rewards offered with the annual support plan will stop working when your support plan expires.

The best way to see what will stop working with the subscription is to go to your ilok account, login and click on your ilok or cloud activations and then organize by publishers name and then look down the “type”column. Any that are marked subscription will go away if you let your plan lapse.

Unfortunately, Groove Cell and Synth Cell are on that list. That’s a bummer because I was hoping those would actually be included as part of Pro Tools, not just the subscription. Heat and the Avid Complete Bundle which includes the Pro Series, Reel Tape Series and just about all of Avid’s Analog modeled plugins as well as a X-form, Revibe, Eleven and Space are all part of that bundle.

Ones like EQ7 and channel strip and dynamics 3, Mod Delay III, Maxim, etc are not part of the subscription.

If you don't renew your support and upgrade plan, you can still rent the Complete Plugin Bundle for $49/year, which is a lot cheaper than Waves.

But it looks like that bundle doesn't include GrooveCell, SynthCell, & PlayCell, unless the webpage for the bundle hasn't been updated.

They seemed to skip the idea of doing a license for PlayCell. It opens fine on my system and I only have a Groovecell and Synthcell license.
