As far as I know, what you were told is correct. The person you bought it from either has to transfer ownership to you or give you his Avid account credentials in order to upgrade.

You need access to the account containing the license since you'll need to surrender that as part of the upgrade. Did the seller transfer the license to you (into your iLok account), or just provide an iLok containing the license?

We did the Ilok xfer thing for $25 into my Ilik account but my avid account shows nothing. My pro audio rep said I cant buy the 199$ upgrade code from him cos the avid account needs the registration for it to work with Ilok??? Is this how it is for every one that buys a used pt10???
I think what your saying is im ok cos I have access to the Ilok account?
thnx for tjhe help!

You said the seller transferred the license to you. When you go to redeem/activate the upgrade, it will link to your iLok User ID and show any licenses/bundles in your iLok account that are eligible for the upgrade. Selecting one will then surrender/revoke that license/bundle and deposit a new license/bundle in your iLok account.

Default Do upgrade codes work for used licences?

Hey Jeffro, I have a related question....

I want to buy a non tiered upgrade from HD7.4 (in my ilok account) and they sell them on eBay all the time

Question
1. will this get me to PT12 or just 11hd?

Also there are some upgrades that go from HD9 to 11. If you register that upgrade would you automatically get PT12?

With the new registration that is? This used to be how it worked but it's better to know before hand

Daniel
