Default A New PT Perpetual License Question

I got a friend who's a drummer, kinda high up the food chain drummer. He tracks his drums for others out of his home on an old 2008 Mac Pro which had an OS & RAM upgrade in the last year, he also has older firewire based interfaces he's loath to get rid of because all his high end mic press & such are permanently set up so all he has to do is import stems from the client, adjust his cue and it's of to the races. He's a brilliant musician and a good mechanic but matching an OS and PT is not his forte, he just wants it to work. He texted me this morning about getting a PT12 license (he's currently on PT10 vanilla) and I'm sussing out his OS/PT version options for him but as he's on the road and can't check his Mac for the info I need.

My question is if he purchases a current perpetual Vanilla license from Sweetwater will it include pervious versions like 11,12, 2018...etc? My Ultimate license has 10,11,12,2018, 2019... would Vanilla be the same going back?

Thanks in advance!

If he purchases a new Pro Tools Perpetual, the license will authorize v12.6/higher.
