Re: Pro Tools 10 Academic.
I already gave up, but he insists I will not have problems. If it was a regular license I would have take it. Thank you for the clearence. At least now I know what Academic license is. I'll trade my Tascam for Command 8 and a microfon.
Folks are free to check my license anytime. I'll not get involved into illegal operations, because I just don't need to. Regards!

Re: Pro Tools 10 Academic.
OK thanks, good on you. And this just reinforces the seller's dishonesty. If they looked at all before reassuring you this was legitimate, they would know they can't sell the license.

Re: Pro Tools 10 Academic.
He knows it's not legit. He just offered to give me the iLok so I can use it. Anyway, I am not taking it.

Re: Pro Tools 10 Academic.
I am a faculty member at an accredited college and, according to this page http://www.avid.com/US/resources/Academic-Eligibility I do qualify and can furnish all required documentation. I understand not being able to transfer ownership. However, that page mentions nothing one way or the other about the original faculty purchaser being able to upgrade if, for example, PT 11 was released next month or next year.
It is not just the PT software that is offered at academic discounts; evidently the higher end systems too, and I am considering one of these but that is a huge investment to make with no certainty about whether it can or cannot be upgraded. I would like to ask such a pre-sales question for clarification, but I can find no appropriate contact information at the Avid site. Any suggestions? Perhaps someone from Avid can clarify (or contact me directly)?

Re: Pro Tools 10 Academic.
Now when I refused to take the iLok with Pro Tools 10 Academic license the guy offered me another iLok with Producer Factory Pro bundle. Are these licenses sellable and do they work with the AAX version of the plugins?

EG there were Eleven and ElevenLE assets. When the Eleven Plug was updated to AAX only the HD asset is working. At the moment its not an issue since PT10 supports RTAS. But when PT11 drops then current LE assets will cease to work. Until Avid announces what their intentions are as far as upgrading these licenses I would avoid them. In 6 months or a year they may only be of interest to pre PT11 users - which would have a significant impact on their value. When Avid upgraded from the Music Production Tool Kit to the Music Production Tool Kit 2 there was a reasonable upgrade of 99.00 (IIRC) and a 19.00 upgrade to the Producer Pack bundle. Hopefully when PT11 drops they will offer something similar. Seriously....I would walk away from this guy.

Re: Pro Tools 10 Academic.
Thank you, sunburst79! The problem is that for a long time I am trying to part with my Tascam FW-1884. No one wants to buy it, because even the lowest price is very expensive for them. Now I have the chance to trade it for Command 8 and something else. Of course, I am very cautious and that's why I am asking questions here. I will try every single plugin before I decide to take the iLok. Thanks again! Much appreciated.

I am still hoping someone from Avid can clarify or put me in touch with someone who can. There appears to be no official way to contact Avid with pre-sales types of questions such as this through their website. EDIT: Just to be clear, I am not expecting free upgrades; I am willing to pay for those. But I want to ensure that I can upgrade should I be willing to pay to do so.
