One thing I'm sure of is that it doesn't clearly explain it in that post. Dominic |

Re: Carbon - How to renew? Perpetual or subscription?
Hey all!
So the Perpetual Parachute has been fixed in the Dev side. We need to test it, but it should be ready for prime time soon, albeit late. Thank you for all of your patience AND questions. Quote:
Jan 2021 Purchase PT | Carbon (I see you early adopters) Pro Tools Subscription with Perpetual Parachute activated with Carbon registration Jan 2022 Pro Tools Subscription with Perpetual Parachute expires Pro Tools Subscription turns into a Pro Tools Perpetual license (currently broken) You can continue to use your Carbon with the last PT release. PT 2021.12 You loose access to access to the Avid Complete Plugin Bundle, HEAT, Melodyne 5 essential, UVI Falcon 2, the sound library, & support. Jan 2026 You decide to renew your Subscription because you miss us and we've added a ton of great features to Pro Tools Pro Tools Perpetual Parachute Subscription is only available as an annual commitment You get access to software updates for the year and all the goodies that went away when the subscription lapsed... to the Avid Complete Plugin Bundle, HEAT, Melodyne 5 essential, UVI Falcon 2, the sound library, & support. Jan 2027 Pro Tools Subscription with Perpetual Parachute expires Pro Tools Subscription turns into a Pro Tools Perpetual license You can continue to use your Carbon with the last PT release. PT 2026.12 You loose access to access to the Avid Complete Plugin Bundle, HEAT, Melodyne 5 essential, UVI Falcon 2, the sound library, & support. Rinse & repeat... In this manner you are never unable to use your Carbon and we hopefully incentivize you to keep an active Subscription. Let me know if you still have questions! Mark

Thanks Mark.
I was wrong about the Parachute, and very happy to be wrong on this occasion. Dominic |

Thanks once again, Mark.
That's clear as can be.

Re: Carbon - How to renew? Perpetual or subscription?
Here is my situation... And then a question.
August 2021 Enjoying the use of my longstanding PT Vanilla perpetual license September 2021 Bought Carbon Activated PT Ultimate perpetual license Activated PT Carbon subscription license December 2021 renewed my PT Vanilla perpetual license for $199 September 2022 Let my PT Ultimate perpetual license expire Let my PT Carbon subscription lapse October 2022 Can I use my longstanding PT Vanilla perpetual license to run Carbon??? Does Carbon run on Vanilla? I ask because I don't see much of an advantage running Carbon on Ultimate vs Vanilla for a $200/yr premium ($399 vs $199). Thanks! |

Yep, Carbon runs on PT Vanilla (need a better name... vanilla is delicious). The Carbon PT Subscription w Perp Parachute is vanilla flavored as well. So if your longstanding PT Vanilla perp license fits your needs, than you are good to go!

Re: Carbon - How to renew? Perpetual or subscription?
Progress! I got a perpetual license added to my iLok account with a release limit of the day before my original subscription expired, so the iLok end of things is now functioning as described. Looks like just the Avid - My Products account page hasn't been updated yet to reflect the license and resubscribe options yet.

Re: Carbon - How to renew? Perpetual or subscription?
OK so it sounds like that has been better clarified
(note I had a current support plan and Ultimate license long before I bought my Carbon So I opted for the 1 year extension on that ) so that is fine But I have a new wrinkle....... When I open my account I get this warning When I open My Products page > PT Ultimate I get this So is Jan 30- 2023 ,,"Soon", in Avids universe ?
