Annual Upgrade Plan - PT10/11 to 12 ??? [solved]
So, I have been reading replies from some you here that when you bought the Annual Upgrade Plan (99$) from PT10/11, that you did in fact receive licenses for PT10/11/12. Is that correct ?
On the Avid store they donīt mention anything about users keeping their PT10 license. They say that a PT12 license is included but I canīt afford losing PT10. I am asking for insight from users who have already taken the plunge from 10/11 to 12 via the Annual Upgrade Plan (99$) Did you receive a bundle with a PT10 license ? Thanks. P.S Iīm not talking about the Annual Upgrade And Support Plan (199$)

After several weeks, Avid relented and agreed to include 10 and 11 licenses again with the cheaper upgrade. People who only got a 12 license because they bought the plan during that interim period can now get it swapped for a 10/11/12 bundle if they ask Avid, for free. Plenty of people have reported in various threads here that they have correctly received the 10/11/12 bundle when buying a $99 plan since Avid changed its policy. The fact that the website has not yet been updated in the weeks since Avid changed its policy is a bit puzzling, though I did read in a post somewhere on the DUC in the last couple of days that Avid is planning to update soon. I had wondered whether not updating the website meant that Avid might be planning to change the policy back, perhaps from 1st January 2016, but that doesn't actually make sense when you think about it, because latecomers wanting to buy a plan for the first time then will have to pay $299 anyway. Plus, the brownie points gained by relenting on the original draconian plan would be swiftly rescinded by the DUC Community! So, go ahead, pay your $99 and you can be sure you'll get a 10/11/12 license bundle when you surrender your existing one.

I keep hearing from users that have taken the 99$ upgrade route that they do keep their PT10 license, but when I read the updated info on the upgrade plan Avid say that you only get a PT12 license ???

Yes, it's unfortunate that the webstore has lagged behind Avid's policy. But I can assure you, and as you see from other users, you get the 3 license bundle with the annual plan.

Re: Annual Upgrade Plan - PT10/11 to 12 ??? [solved]
Thank you Drew for clearing up this 10/11/12 issue. I have been not spending money on AVID because the website is so confusing regarding upgrade policies. I have a couple other questions I hope can be answered before I decide whether to got to 12:
1) If I take the $99 option and do not renew, will PT simply expire and stop working in the middle of a session? If so, will 10/11 still work? 2) I own TLSpace. If I upgrade will I lose that license and have it moved to a subscription model? 3) Once on the annual subscription plan, is the pricing locked in as long as I keep paying or can I expect the price to go up at some point? If so, when and how much? 4) Will annual subscribers get major updates (PT13) as part of their plan? If the answer to #1 is yes and the answer to #4 is no, will the accrued annual payments give them a perpetual license at whatever version they ended up with or will they be cut off cold? I hope I can get an answer to these. I'm not bashing AVID, I've been a protools user for 25 years. I think these are all valid questions and I can't find the answers on the website, not can I get a response from the sales team. Thanks you. |
