The HD upgrade options are on the Sweetwater site. I've narrowed it down to these two, which are your only options:

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/sear...port&Go=Search

The $399 one is if you are already on an HD support and upgrade plan, the $999 one is if you are not on one (which means basically you are upgrading from HD9, 10, or 11, to HD12 with support and upgrade plan).

These are the only options, as you can not buy HD software on its own, it is only sold as part of hardware systems, and these upgrades are only if you already own HD software.

I don't currently own any version of pro tools, I think that's a poor business practice on AVIDs part that they don't offer HD on it's own they are just pushing away future customers.

Is there anyway to get a copy of 12 HD rather than purchase second hand through a license transfer or some guy who claims he has one on ebay? Or even the long route of purchasing an older version of pro tools and then purchasing an upgrade? I'm a student and already own the proprietary hardware and would like to be legitimate but it seems Avid has no interest and would rather control the market and push customers away.

are these even legit?

Default Legit Ebay

First off are these two listings legit? 10, 11, & 12 HD all together? Is this retail?

I noticed both box covers are different though. Are these retail versions that ship with the hardware I’m assuming? If so how the heck do these people get their hands on so many copies to sell?

If they're not listed here, they're not an Avid approved retailer.

http://www.avid.com/find-a-reseller

Having said that, it doesn't mean it's not a legit auction for an actual authorization. IOW, you can have legit auths to sell without being an approved retailer because people do all sorts of things to get ahold of these products.

The first listing is a individual selling an unregistered product. Legit? Yes

The second listing is from a reputable seller (on eBay at least). Also selling an unregistered product. Legit? yes

Default Re: Legit Ebay

Hello imgarrett,

These are both private party sales (they are not authorized Avid resellers) so nobody here can accurately state whether these are legitimate products or not.

As with any 'used' product purchase, even if the product is in 'new' condition, you should use caution and know that you are assuming more risk than purchasing from an authorized reseller. The seller would be responsible for anything missing or non-functional with the product.

Best regards,
JC
