Perpetual license?

[Terry Wetzel]

Websters unabridged defines the word perpetual as never ending. Continuing on forever, etc. Avid should have checked their definitions before using that word. When I purchased my new Creation station I was talked in to also purchasing Pro Tools 12 with Windows 10. I say talked in to purchasing because I really wanted Pro Tools 10, 64 bit with Windows 7, 64 bit! I was told by my "personal sales engineer" that what I wanted was not possible because the software I wanted was no longer available. This all happened one year ago.
Well, here I am a year later and Avid advises me it's time to upgrade! For a meager $299.00 plus another $99.00 I can have all the wonderful things that the upgrade offers, which I don't want, don't need and can live without! Long story short I bought a non perpetual pig in a poke! Consumers are victims of scam artists in todays economy!
