Carbon Pro Tools Standard License
I understand that Carbon comes with a Pro Tools Subscription license (along with the promo until 12/31/21). If you don't extend the Pro Tools subscription after one year from activation it turns into a perpetual license. My question is what happens if I renew the subscription after the first year but don't re-up after the second or any other year thereafter?

In any case ::: Once you let the subscription plan expire and it turns into a Perpetual license it will continue work, at the version it was at is when it expires,,,, but you will be frozen at that version and will not able to upgrade it .. In which case to get back into being able to upgrade you have to either get on a monthly or yearly Subscription "only" plan, OR buy a brand new full price license, which comes with a 1 year Support/update plan, and gets you back on the ability to maintain that annual Support/update plan ( at least that is how it stands currently)

Re: Carbon Pro Tools Standard License
I could be wrong but I doubt anybody, weather from Avid or not, can predict 3-5 years into the future with much accuracy
So if your asking if the perpetual license will still work even 3-5 years down the road after letting subscription expire ? the likely answer is, probably Yes, because there is not much of a reason why it wouldn't But ultimately that is still just somewhat informed speculation based on the fact there isn't much of a practical method, or financial reason for Avid to get into a machine with a frozen perpetual license and somehow block it not to work (if that is even possible) .. What could happen in the future is Avid could stop selling perpetual licenses altogether and go subscription only ,,,,and perhaps even (albeit extreme) stop allowing annual Support/Upgrade plans for current perpetual licenses. But in either case I doubt they would try to block frozen perpetual licenses from working. Especially since all the user would have to do is simply take the machine off the internet, and there would no possible way Avid cold do anything about a functioning perpetual license...

Re: Carbon Pro Tools Standard License
It's a moot point now. I extended my Ultimate license by one year and I have a second Ultimate license in waiting.
