Default Just found an unopened PT7HD box

So I was cleaning out old gear and I found a very old version of Pro Tools 7HD. It's in the original box, along with the manuals, software, and dongle. So here are some questions.

1. Is there any way that I can use this to upgrade to a current version of Pro Tools? I couldn't see any way to upgrade on Avid's site, and to be fair it is around 15 years old so I wouldn't really expect an upgrade on something that old.

2. Would it be worth trying to sell it? Maybe someone out there has a rig frozen in time that could use it?

I also found a sealed box of Pro Tools 10 (nonHD). Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Hi, welcome to the community.

DigiDesign era products are not upgradeable.

I’d keep it for another 10 years and sell it as sealed vintage pro tools box. You never know 😁
