Re: Existing Perpetual License Owners
Hi there, if Avid doesn't sell individual perperual licences anymore how is my reinstatement code going to work in the future.
I'm on PT Ultimate 2022.4 and my support ends soon. I want to use my code let's say in 2024... What product will I get? A new current perpetual version or a subscription?

Re: Existing Perpetual License Owners
This, but as we have seen in the past Avid assurance is worth close to nothing for many of us. We will have to wait and see if indeed they will give reinstatements to us perpetual licence users in the future. Until now it was a rollercoaster ride: now you have, now you don´t have reinstatements.

It's almost as if Avid don't want me to find out that a perpetual licence is still available for a product I've owned, and paid to upgrade, since 1999. cheers

Re: Existing Perpetual License Owners
Having looked at the number of authorised resellers, including in France where I live, I find that there are many reputable online retailers, Thomann, Bax, Woodbrass, offering the UPD despite not being authorised. So what happens if I buy from an "un-authorised" re-seller? And how can they sell the product which obviously has to report back to Avid to get the iLok license etc? Is there any reason why I shouldn't buy the product at the best price?

The reinstatement code is not for a new perpetual license. It's a code to get the perpetual license that you already own current so you can update your software and have Avid support. After that, you are eligible for the yearly Software Updates + Support Plan at the regular price.

Re: Existing Perpetual License Owners
My perpetual license is several years old (v12.8), before the subscription plans, etc. I don't believe I have a reinstatement code available to me. Not that I plan to, but with this new scheme Avid has all but guaranteed I will never update. I will not use a subscription. And I can't be the only one who thinks Avid has gone off the deep end with this licensing nonsense. I feel bad for those who don't have the option to ignore it.
Creators are spending a fair amount of time, energy, and mental effort wrapping their heads around what seems like a punitive and confusing licensing scheme. If all that energy was spent making music the world would be a better place. |

A new/current perpetual license with a 1 year Software Updates + Support Plan.
