How does one give up their perpetual license?

Thanks again for your help

Once you cross-grade (subscribe) you'll provide your iLok info and the steps will be provided from there.
When you activate your sub in the iLok license manager follow the prompts.
In other words, subscribe first, and then follow the prompt to surrender the license upon activation of your new license.

Current PT Licenses (subscription or perpetual) authorize versions back to 12.6.

When you purchased the Crossgrade it added the product to your Avid account. You'll see that listed first in the Pro Tools Ultimate section of your my.avid.com/products. To complete this simply click Select Upgrade Options to select your perpetual Pro Tools Ultimate Bundle and click Submit, then activate the new license bundle in iLok License Manager.

the fact that you have to give up your perpetual license to subscribe,
which cost you $600 to begin with is so greedy and so wrong on all levels!

it should not be allowed or shall i say tolerated

i guess that's why tons of people jump ship to less greedy companies,
Logic Pro, costs $199, pay once, and it's yours for LIFE!!!

This is where it gets confusing to me. My only option is to BUY which I already did. I see that my Sub is active in my Avid Account but in my Ilok Account i am still running the demo. My perpetual license is still active. Do i need to deactivate that license before I see the new Sub?
Much appreciate all the help and thanks in advance
