Re: Used Carbon hardware without software
Hi thats good news I thought I had bought a doorstop.
The seller says he has transferred the ownership but I still do not see it in my iLok and cannot activate Pro Tools with the included card. Can you tell me if he has done this please? Cheers |

Re: Used Carbon hardware without software
Marriage of hardware with software would be ideal in an ideal world, but unfortunately we don’t necessarily live in one. A good solution which probably could use a patent would be to tie both together through the firmware. Nonetheless, as it stands they both currently work independently. Don’t expect support from a sale gone bad. If the purchaser doesn’t want to pay for software or support, don’t expect it to be part of the sale. Have that party purchase it separately. It doesn’t seem kosher, but not all foods are. Good luck on your “hardware only” purchase.

Re: Used Carbon hardware without software
Hey Mark
Thanks for the case number, it was very helpful. In this instance since the original owner choose to extend an existing license, much like you have, there is no software to transfer unfortunately. I do see the Carbon in your account now, and as mentioned before, it'll work with Pro Tools Standard or Ultimate. Lemme know if you have any other questions... enjoy! m

Re: Used Carbon hardware without software
The software license you speak of is a not for resale license tied to the hardware. It’s based on the original digidesign model “tying” the software to the hardware. Unfortunately, some people are unwilling to pay for the software, transfer of ownership, and associated fees during the sale. So what you’re essentially left with is a turnkey try to buy system with no transfer. Otherwise known as a rental or “ stolen vehicle “ in other cases. Either way, good luck on your purchase ,and welcome aboard, if it’s your first time.

Re: Used Carbon hardware without software
Hi The license was transferred to my account. I was under the impression that I would be a perpetual license for pro tools including the bundled plugins but my account says that the subscription ends in November. Does this mean that It will change to a perpetual license then?

The Pro Tools subscription license that comes with Carbon is special, well documented and discussed. e.g. https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...faq/Carbon-FAQ And Mark clearly said earlier in this thread about transfering the *subscription*. |
