Perpetual differences
I like to know the differences between these two options if I may.
1. Avid Pro Tools Studio Perpetual License Renewal (Continues Updates and Support for 1 Year) Reviews 2.Avid Pro Tools Studio Perpetual License Upgrade (Reinstates Updates and Support for 1 Year) I already have a perpetual up to 2022.9. I like to chug along and would I just be upgrading for a year ? Thank you.

Re: Perpetual differences
You need 2. It is a reinstatement for those who have expired plans (like you)
#1 you can’t use. It’s for those with current active plans.

Thank for chiming in. Okay I already paid the reinstatement last from PT12 which got me to my current version of 2022.9 $349 seems really steep for an upgrade. 2. Seems I'm able to upgrade I believe, correct ?

Re: Perpetual differences
If you are not on a current plan you need a reinstatement. Not 1.
You got to 2022.9 but didn't keep up-to-date? Then you are back to needing a reinstatement. You get 30 days grace period but we are far past that now. Reinstatement is not a one time thing if you don't keep track of things. It's a financial punishment to make sure you stay current. You didn't. So now it is back to the expensive one. You buy #1 and it will not be usable. Caveat emptor. You'll just end up wasting time trying to get a refund. If you can get a refund.

Thanks BScout. I noticed your sig you have the Mac Pro running High Sierra. Have you considered a metal card & OpenCore to run the latest Mac OS ? Thank you so much for your knowledge, and greatly appreciate it.

But the 5,1 will stay frozen and in storage for the next 5 years for archived projects (seeing as not all plugins will make the jump to Apple ARM.) I went up to Mojave once on it but didn't like the stability (it has a Metal card though sinking more money with an AMD RX card seems pointless now.)
