Can't update my support code. [SOLVED]
I renewed my HD support package recently and tried to update my avid account today with the new code.
When I try to enter the new code I get - "Sorry, there was an error redeeming your support code. Please try again or contact Avid Customer Care".....anyone else ever have this? I've contact Avid but haven't heard back yet, thought I'd see if there was an easy fix here. Thanks! Chris

Re: Can't update my support code.
Something similar happened to my friends setup and he solved it by trying another web browser. Think he used chrome instead.
Let us know what happens and I will escalate this to Avid Support otherwise. And pls post the Support case code if you need help from support so I can include it and they can find it and solve it quicker.

Re: Can't update my support code.
Just an update. I got an email from Avid support saying:
"Your Pro Tools Ultimate Support Plan has already expired so this code will not work. What you need is a Reinstatement Code to reactivate your Support Plan." I bought my support plan about a week BEFORE my plan expired (and of course I can prove it). So now I'm being told the code is no longer valid.I don't get it....I paid for a year of support. Of course I've written to avid support also but I tend to get answers here much quicker. Thanks! Chris

Re: Can't update my support code.
When you buy the yearly plan, you should enter the code prior to the expiration of your previous plan--Avid wouldn't necessarily know when you purchased the plan (you could have purchased it from any vendor) and associate that with your expiring plan. I would assume, though, that if you prove to Avid that you purchased the plan prior to the expiration of your previous year's plan, that they would then honor it--but I don't know for sure about that.

Re: Can't update my support code.
Just an update for anyone that might be interested.
It looks like Avid are not going to honour my HD support update I bought before my plan expired. They are saying I didn't use it in time and now it's no good. No one told me that it would expire, it's a year long subscription so I expected it would be valid for a year. So it seems I spent $400 on something that won't be honoured and now I'm being told I need the reinstatement code which is another $1000! I've been a protools TDM then HD user since 2000...if this isn't resolved I'm done. I've never had such brutal customer service from any audio company let alone one I've invested so much in.

Big thanks to Jeffro for over riding the Avid support guys that were handling this and solving it in about 10 minutes!

Re: Can't update my support code. [SOLVED]
B.t.w. how long is the grace period? I thought 30 days?
I got the same error. But on my products site there is still the option to buy the "Pro Tools support and update plan renewal". So, it should work with the redeem code from my dealer also.
