Pro Tools 9 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: If I buy a Pro Tools LE system now—or just purchased one—am I entitled to a free crossgrade to Pro Tools 9?
A: Because Pro Tools 9 is a new Pro Tools product and not an upgrade version of Pro Tools LE, we will not be offering any free crossgrades to Pro Tools 9.

Q: If I recently purchased a Pro Tools LE hardware system—how do I obtain Pro Tools 9? (FAQ added 11/9/2010)
A: Customers who purchased a Pro Tools LE hardware system can take advantage of the $249 (USD) software crossgrade currently available. There is no special promotional offer available at this time on Pro Tools LE hardware systems. However, customers who purchase a Pro Tools LE hardware system plus the Pro Tools 9 crossgrade will spend less compared to waiting to purchase a new system bundled with Pro Tools 9 in 2011. Please see the next FAQ.

Benoni: You are right. I forgot there was no free upgrades since this was a crossgrade. I will delete my previous post to avoid confusing others.
