Upgrade from PT 10HD to PT 11HD? (bought 10HD on eBay)
Hi people,
I need help from you guys! I would like to buy the upgrade from Pro Tools 10HD to 11HD. Regarding this purchase, I have some issues that I would like to consult with you. I bought a used Pro Tools 10HD (4 license iLok with Pro Tools 9, 9HD, 10 and 10HD). 1. I transferred the license to my iLok account. So right now I have fully control of my Pro Tools 9, 9HD, 10 and 10HD licenses on iLok. 2. I dont have Pro Tools 10HD registered on www.avid.com, as I didnt get the System ID for the purchased product (PT 10HD). My question is, will I be able to buy and install the upgrade option from Pro Tools 10HD to 11HD without the System ID on my avid account? Thank you in advance! Cheers! Mirza |

I would think you can, because currently HD licenses are non-transferable so therefore the original owner must have done the transfer of ownership with Avid.
I think the Avid store upgrade procedure only needs to see the proper licenses on your iLok where the new license is sent, because the new license only installs to your iLok if you can first surrender the old licenses.

Yes What JFreak said. We did this when we traded a HD license a year ago and when you paid for the upgrade from HD10 to HD10/11 you will get a new serial number that you register to your Avid Account. Then you will have your updates and downloads in that account. Thats how it wolrked for us atleast and should work for you as long as you have the ilok asset for the surrender when upgrading.
Best pf Luck Christopher

Guys, thank you very much for the info! It was really important for me to know the eventual outcome of the purchase.
I only dont understand the "surrender license" thing. As far as I understood you guys, AVID will take away may Pro Tools 10HD license bundle (9, 9HD, 10 and 10HD) from my iLok account and provide me with a new Pro Tools 10HD/11HD license bundle? Thank you again for the help! Kind regards, Mirza |

Yes, that is exactly what it means. Except it is iLok that deletes your old license before you get the new one.
So, be mindful when you buy the upgrade. You need to know 100% what kind of license you are surrendering. The PT10HD to PT11HD upgrade won't work if you have a PT9HD/PT10HD bundle. You need to buy exactly correct upgrade product from the Avid store. Outcome will be just the same, you get a PT10HD/PT11HD license bundle, but there is a difference in surrendering old license -- those must match, otherwise it won't work.

So is there an option to buy an upgrade from PT 9HD/10HD to PT 10HD/11HD at AVID distributors? Sorry to bother you guys with this stupid questions, but I need the help.

Yes, and even earlier versions but it costs more and doesn't concern you.
The point I tried to make is that there are different upgrade options available depending on WHICH LICENSE/BUNDLE YOU CURRENTLY HAVE, so don't just buy the first "PT11 upgrade" but please double-check what licence will be upgraded.
