Avid Pro Tools 9 upgrade
Hi everyone, I've been following you for a long time but I just registered to ask you a question.
I have the possibility to buy a version of Avid Pro Tools 9 at a good price, never used, with registration card but without the ilok key (according to the seller it was stolen). My question is can I upgrade it for free to the latest version of Pro tools? Thanks |

No. Do not buy it.

Thank you for your answer. So you think it's a lousy deal? Why do you think so?

Re: Avid Pro Tools 9 upgrade
Why? Because the deal stinks like a rotting fish head, you don't know if the registration card was ever used or not. Possibly a scammer looking for a chump to sell an empty box to. If on eBay almost certainly a scammer. Lost iLok story is uh "convenient".
Why? because you cannot upgrade any Pro Tools 9 or similar license even if you were willing to pay (possible exception of you can find a dealer with old promotional reinstatements still in stock) Why? "For Free" What? That is ancient commercial software, why would any vendor give you a free upgrade? Pro Tools licensing is complex, if you have no idea what you are doing you should purchase a license or subscription through an authorized dealer, and the sales reps there can answer any questions. |

Yes, do not buy it. The "never used, with registration card but without the ilok key" is a dead giveaway of a scam. If it was never registered it would not have a license deposited by Avid with iLok (and not have a particular iLok dongle with that registration). Scam.

Okay, I understand now, thank you all, I'll let it go.
I have a Pro tools 2018 student license, so I will try to find an Avid Pro Tools Perpetual 1-Year Updates + Support Plan Reinstatement. I saw one on Ebay by the way. |
