Default AVID !!! you are making me mad - my license not working - Pro Tools doesn't work!!!

I am really mad. My Pro Tools 12.6. won't start any more because it claims I haven't a license!

I have receipt and everything of last payment done for subscription 3rd october 2016.

I am now losing money - can't do my customer projects because of this. All started when I uploaded 12.6. It asked me to activate Pro Tools, and it gave me one week license from ilok.com.

The renewal didn't work, I have the latest ilok software. Just a few minutes ago I started Pro Tools and this **** happened. My projects and customers are waiting. I AM REALLY DISSAPPOINTED. DO SOMETHING AVID, I NEED MY LICENSE TO WORK RIGHT NOW. YOU ALREADY TOOK MY MONEY FOR IT! I am waiting ! HURRY UP HURRY UP HURRY UP please !

My Pro Tools Plan seems to be active in ilok count until 3rd November (which is alright) but Subscription status is expired.

Who pays for my lost time when Pro Tools isn't working?

Funny thing is that I had problem with authorizing excatly one year ago on 7th oct 2015. I got a temporary license via Jeffro then before avid got the problem solved then. I didn't have any break to my work with Pro Tools then thanks to Jeffro. But now I have a serious case. I needed to start my Pro Tools session one hour ago. I am still waiting...

Dead silence still at pro tools support. I've got no answers. They have failed seriously. Only their billing works - without delivery. Congratulations.

Just started downloading, installing and learning reaper. Hoping that the learning curve for me isn't too slow. Frustrations grows... I need my mixing job to be done. Luckily I've got good plugins, waves, steven slate, brainworx, izotope. Who needs pro tools ...

Did you surrender your old Pro Tools license? Check in the Available tab in the iLok License Manager. If there is a license there once it is dragged onto your iLok it should ask you to surrender your expired license.

Nobody ever asked that. There are no avid licenses available. In All activations field is shown one line for greyed "Pro Tools 12 expiration day 3rd oct 2016", another greyed line for "Pro tools subscription expiration day 3rd oct 2016#, third one is on green "Pro tools plan expiration day 3rd nov 2016", this last one was the only thing renewed properly.

MY PRO TOOLS IS STILL BLOCKED OUT !!! this is insane indeed! I feel like somebody has robbed me... I got the email invoice/receipt of successful payment a couple of days ago and my credit card has been charged a few days more before by Avid...
