Re: Carbon - How to renew? Perpetual or subscription?
Correct. To continue the subscription is priced at $299 USD a year and the Ultimate support and upgrade plan is $399 USD a year. Remember you can't let the Ultimate support and upgrade plan lapse for more than 30 days after the support and upgrade plan ends or you'll need a Ultimate reinstatement plan which may not be available from any dealer at that time. That's the trick Avid has imposed to keep some of us on the support and upgrade plan continuously.

Re: Carbon - How to renew? Perpetual or subscription?
I'm going to assume whenever your stop the subscription it turns into a perpetual. As it was stated before its a subscription perpetual parachute. It turns into a license once you stop the subscription so you'll NEVER be without a license to operate your Pro Tools Carbon you paid a premium price for. So I'm led to believe that because Avid is allowing you to start and stop the subscription at will, anytime you don't re-up it turns into a perpetual. If you want to get current you'll have to re-up for at least a year's subscription. I guess that's the meaning of Avid's Perpetual Parachute.
We can still ask Mark just to be sure. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Re: Carbon - How to renew? Perpetual or subscription?
I would love to test this theory but since I already owned an Ultimate license prior to my Carbon purchase, I opted to surrender the PT Carbon Subscription Perpetual Parachute license in favor of an additional year of support and upgrade plan for my current Ultimate license.
Now I have 2 Ultimate licenses (one in my products not downloaded yet Avid account). So now my support and upgrade plan doesn't expire till March 31, 2023, on the 1 Ultimate license I'm currently using. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

What I am getting at is this: Would they let you skip a couple years and get around the ugly "reinstatement" fee by just buying a single year of subscription and then being up to date - also once if falls back to perpetual again? |

This is a nice bonus for Carbon users as the rest of us perpetual Standard or Ultimate License owners would have to buy an expensive Reinstatement Plan to get current if we let our Support and Upgrade Plan lapse. Also remember this only applies to the PT Carbon Perpetual Parachute license that comes with every Carbon, not the PT Ultimate license that you were given during the promo period. The Ultimate license you must re-up every year ($399 USD) to stay current or risk not being able to update in the future. Avid no longer sells Reinstatement Plans for lapsed perpetual license holders. There are still a few available from dealers but that won't last long.

this sounds too good to be true, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get this information from? just to be 100% clear on this: I'm talking about the situation where you have a Carbon perpetual parachute license, which you then decide to start another year of subscription on (if this is even possible). Let's say you are on 2021.12 perpetual parachute. In 2026 you pay for one year of subscription on that license, get 2026.3 (or whatever). In 2027 you let the subscription run out... What version will your perpetual license be - 2021.12 or 2026.3? |

38 posts and nothing is clear.
Some input from Avid would be useful. |

Mark from Avid is where I got it from (it's in this thread). Though it's not functioning as expected in the MyAvid account just yet, This is the way Avid intends for it to be. I'll email an Avid rep. again to get more answers for you.
