Default Pro tools Studio renewal

If your perpetual product has an active support plan, by pressing "Yes" below you will replace the existing updates and support plan with a new plan with a new expiration date.

I don’t understand what you mean about this,

could someone explain to me this point?

Pro Tools Studio
€310.00 Pro Tools Studio Annual Perpetual Upgrade & Support Plan - GET CURRENT

It means your perpetual support+upgrade expired in 2018.
If you hit "yes" you will now have a perpetual license that the support+upgrade will expire 1 year from now (though you can renew at that point.)

So you will get 2022.4 plus all releases until May 2023 by hitting yes.
It is still a perpetual license (if you stop paying the support+upgrade will stop giving you new versions but the last version you download will continue to work.)

And this is a paid for update (what they call the "GET CURRENT" program) but I think you already know this.

This plan used to be called a "reinstatement"

What BScout said.

The message in the box your talking about is just notifying you that if your Software Update + Support plan is still active, it'll extend that plan 1 additional year from the date your current plan expires.

Example;
Software Update + Support Plan ends August 1st. 2022
You purchase a new Software Update + Support Plan on June 10th. 2022
You Software Update + Support Plan is now extended til August 1st. 2023

In your case your plan has already expired in May 2018 so this doesn't apply to you. You'll need to purchase what is now called a Upgrade to Current Updates + Support Plan for PT Studio for $349.00. That'll give you 1-year of PT updates and support from the date of purchase/activation. Before that 1-year is up (or 30 days after that 1-year is up which is a grace period) you can than continue to stay current with the Software Updates + Support Plan for $199 each additional year thereafter.

Example:
Your current plan ended in May 2018.
You purchase a Upgrade to Current Updates + Support Plan on June 1st. 2022 for $349.00.
Now your get to keep the current PT version 2022.4 + any new version before June 1st. 2023
You also get the Complete Plugin Bundle and Pro Tools Inner Circle Rewards as long as your Software Updates + Support Plan remains active.
On May 23rd. 2023 you purchase a Software Updates + Support Plan for $199.00.
You'll get to keep any newly released PT version till June 1st. 2024.
You get to keep using the Complete Plugin Bundle plus PT Inner Circle rewards till June 1st. 2024.
PT 2024.5 is released in May 2024.
You decide not to renew your Software Updates + Support Plan for the following year.
You get to use and keep PT 2024.5 forever.
You lose the use of the Complete Plugin Bundle and PT Inner Circle Rewards after June 1st. 2024

Keep in mind that if you don't renew within that time-frame (the 30 day grace period after your Plan has expired), you'll have to start the process over again with the Upgrade to Current Updates + Support Plan for $349.00 for the 1st. year to get current again.

My PT updated to the new Avid link and it asked for my credit account info. Please tell me I didn't sign up for something I didn't agree too

Check your Avid Master Account online under View My Products to make sure. Most users here don't even bother with the Avid Link.

Thank you very much. Will checkout after work.

I never bothered with that Avid link back since 7. Why I installed is my fault. I had so many issues with that app running and disrupting my workflow. I even tried to turn it off on Avid link preferences and startup items and the darn thing still starts up on boot. (UNBELIEVABLE)

Greatly appreciate you chiming in.

One more thing ? how do I remove it. I don't see it in my apps and no uninstall folder.

Actually, you can uninstall Avid Link and it won't mess anything up.

Uninstaller for Avid Link is in the Avid folder found in Applications if you want it gone.

It really should be an option during the install process (along with Avid Audio Server which I have to disable each time there is an upgrade.) But this is Avid and Avid Link is part of their ad/marketing program so they want to sneak it onto every computer by default.

Can't locate the uninstaller. I only see two folders saying Avid Link, but nothing regarding uninstaller ?
