abc1mce2, I have the standered version of PT. My ilok has version 9 thru 2019.10 on it with an Eleven MK II license as well. |

Re: Promo for perpetual license holders
Removing the reinstatement was so cynical..
There should be some sort of boycott or something.. I'm on an educational license at the minute, but once that's up that's it..They'll never get another penny from me.. |

Re: Promo for perpetual license holders
All this talk about perpetual licenses and how long you decide to hold on to your version 12 of protools can be undaunting, but what would happen if they decide to roll out version 13 of protools. What would perpetual owners have to say then when protools goes subscription only. For now just sit and wait realizing perpetual stopped at protools 12.

Promo for perpetual license holders
The years you talk about use the protools 12 asset for ilok licensing with an expiration. It doesn’t take rocket science for software developers to come out with a new version. So called pt 13 or something similar to deem the protools 12 perpetual unusable after they decide to have the new revision to go subscription only.
As a matter of fact, they’ve already done it. Both licenses exist. I have both unexpired. They only have to stop pt 12 ilok asset support to go subscription only. They’re two different license types. Another point is their expiration model. They stopped selling reinstatements. All they have to do is stop selling extensions for perpetual licenses at this point. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Re: Promo for perpetual license holders
I hear ya, I was toying with the idea of possibly purchasing a PT Carbon with the PT Ultimate perpetual license included. The offer states that the software has to be registered by 12/31/21. So, they could come out with a new PT version on 1/1/23 that has different terms of use that could block you from reinstatement. At that point, you would have to buy a new perpetual license or go subscription. Of course, your current system would still work with your existing copy of PT but computers are changing so fast and it’s hard if not impossible to keep your OS form updating which could render your system incompatible.

Re: Promo for perpetual license holders
I had PT12 perpetual that came with an Eleven rack I bought several years ago. It works with Mac OSX up to High Sierra. Being formally employed at a professional facility with current Pro Tools, I did not mind languishing at PT 12 for home, even though I never really used it much because I got into Logic for music, and updated my Mac OS to Catalina. Being now retired from a professional facility, I decided to go with an upgrade to 2 years from a retailer (at discounted price of $199) Seems like a good deal for me, not everyone. And in a couple of years if I still want it, I will deal with the current situation then. YMMV of course.

I really miss the simplicity of PT LE. You could just buy the piece of hardware and PT just works. I’ve owned AudioMedia III, Digi001, MBox, Digi002, Eleven Rack, and MBox Pro 3 and loved them all. The Digi001 was very special to me and is what made me really love Pro Tools and the Eleven Rack is the most amazing product that I can think of. It just needed a pro version with quality pres, converters, and ADAT IO. I really do think Avid will eventually come around and offer some kind of reinstalment for expired perpetual licenses. But in the meantime, the PT Carbon is looking pretty good. The Perpetual PT Ultimate 1 year updates could get me through the Monterey and new Apple silicon updates. I just hope that Windows gets the AVB software stack within my active update period. If not, it looks like they do have a renewal for active perpetual Ultimate users. Avid, please don’t take that away. |

Re: Promo for perpetual license holders
The only way they'll ever bring the reinstatement back is if enough people just stay where they are and tell them to shove their subscription..

Re: Promo for perpetual license holders
I'm really struggling to stay updated but I think I have to let pro tools plan lapse and see what the future holds...I really like pro tools but the guys at Avid just makes it impossible.
