Default Questions on Carbon

Trying to verify some questions.
1) Carbon does not require the use of an additional mixer or interface correct? Unlike Apogee symphony Control or Universal Audios Control. At the moment I’m using an Apollo X6 in the console with PT 12. Really want to do away with the Console.
2) if I find and purchase a used a carbon interface, can the former owner transfer the software and perpetual license to me?Could not find that on the Avid site.

Correct. No console. That's the whole point of Carbon. (Which means you don't' get any console/hardware mixer like cabilities with other DAWS, only Pro Tools).

As i understand ( we have 2 Carbons ) the software is non transferable as it stands but a friend bought a used carbon w/out software from a dealer here so best ask Avid about what the rules are.

I can ask for you and see whats what.

We will transfer the Pro Tools Subscription with Carbon hardware, they should be kept together.

The seller would need to fill out a Transfer of Ownership form with their information, you would need to fill out your information on it too, and open a case to submit it.

What we will not do, is transfer the subscription or perpetual license without the transfer of the Carbon hardware.

Make sense?

Thanks once again Mark. I was unsure about this one myself.

One other question Mark. What if the person selling the PT|Carbon during product registration opted for the additional 1 year of Software Updates+Support Plan to their existing Perpetual PT Ultimate license instead of the Perpetual Parachute PT license offered with every PT|Carbon purchase.

Will that seller have to surrender their Ultimate license just to sell the Carbon interface or is their some other offering you have for the buyer since the seller never had a Perpetual Parachute license?
