Mixing perpetual and subscription licenses
I've not found a clear answer to this in the FAQs etc.
I have a PT perpetual license that expired on 2020.12, and I have an unused reinstatement code, that I want to keep unused for now. I want to try the PT beta. I'm ready to install the beta, after having renamed the 2020.12 to have them both at once. Can I just buy a 1 year subscription, and use iLok manager to place either one on my iLok to switch between the two? Like many before me, I'm not sure I'm clear about what I see in my account/upgrade: Skjermbilde 2022-12-29 kl. 12.07.01.jpg When I select subscription, the "get current" part is gone, but it still says "Move to a subscription…", so it looks like I'm surrendering my perpetual license… I guess if I buy it from a reseller and redeem it on avid.com, I'll achieve my goal; to have one perpetual and one sub, on my avid account. Just checking. I don't want to screw anything up. people have been fooled by this before.

Hi Ben
Looks like you can subscribe for as little as $39.99 for just One Month, if that's all you need: "$39.99 Monthly Subscription, Paid Monthly (Download) Enjoy the flexibility of a month-to-month subscription plan" Buy Pro Tools Studio Music Production Software - Avid https://shop.avid.com/ccrz__ProductD...ls&cclcl=en_US

So simple. I just go to the regular avid.com shop and shop a subscription. Even a month-by-month thing like I had hoped. and I expect my ilok mnager to show both perp and sub… just a second… Yep. I have both the subscription and my expired perpetual intact. Pretty petty that I have to jump thru hoops. I can't do this just by using my avid account. Thanks again.
