If you are a perpetual license holder and you are happy to continue using Pro Tools with the version you have, all is good, the phrase that comes to mind is “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”.
#Buy pro tools perpetual upgrade#
So that leaves just one option for Pro Tools Perpetual License holders, without a current Upgrade Plan Crossgrade From Perpetual To Subscription Since December 31st 2019, the only way to buy a reinstatement plan is to find a dealer who still has stock but as we showed in our article in May 2021, reinstatement plans are becoming very difficult to find. If you have a Pro Tools Perpetual license but have allowed your Upgrade Plan to lapse, once you passed the 30 day grace period, and you want to be able to use the current version of Pro Tools again, there were 2 options…īuy a Reinstatement Plan from a Pro Tools Dealer Current Options For Pro Tools Perpetual License Holders Without A Current Upgrade Plan It is this option for Pro Tools and Pro Tools Ultimate perpetual license owners to get back onto an annual upgrade plan that Avid discontinued on December 31st 2019. To encourage those users back onto an annual upgrade plan, Avid used to offer a Reinstatement Plan, which for a price, enabled users with a lapsed Upgrade Plan to buy back into an annual Upgrade Plan. What Is A Reinstatement Plan For?Īvid’s aim was that all perpetual Pro Tools and Pro Tools Ultimate owners would take out and renew an annual upgrade plan every year and so always have access to the latest version of Pro Tools.Īs we know, not everyone chose that option, with some users not prepared to take out an annual upgrade plan, choosing instead not to spend the money and allow the upgrade plan to lapse. But once Avid dealers have sold out of these Reinstatement Plans, it will no longer be possible to buy a Pro Tools Reinstatement Plan at all. However, it may be possible to purchase a Pro Tools Perpetual Reinstatement Plan from an Avid dealer for as long as they have stocks of the Reinstatement Plan you need, either for Pro Tools Standard or Pro Tools Ultimate.
If you are already on a Pro Tools rental subscription plan and you would like to have a single year at a lower cost, it would appear from the FAQ from Avid, which is later in this article, that you can use this promotion to get one cheaper year paying for Pro Tools rental subscription.īack in November 2019, Avid announced the closure of the Pro Tools Reinstatement Plans although there remains an option to buy them if you can find a dealer with some in stock.Īs a result, from January 1st 2020 it was no longer possible to purchase a reinstatement plan from the Avid Online Store, for either Pro Tools or Pro Tools Ultimate. If you are a perpetual license holder who has allowed your annual upgrade plan to lapse and you now want to get access to the latest version of Pro Tools, this plan IS for you. If you are a perpetual license holder who has allowed your annual upgrade plan to lapse and you are happily running the version of Pro Tools you have, then this offer is NOT for you. If you are a perpetual license holder who has an active upgrade plan because you pay the annual upgrade plan every year, this offer is NOT for you. For more on this see the last section of this article. Avid is still offering the choice between rental subscription and perpetual licensing. This is NOT a plan by Avid to get everyone onto a rental subscription plan. So we are going to try and explain who it is for and who it is not for. there has been some confusion about who it is for. We have the details… Who Is This Promotion For And Who Is It Not For?īefore we explain what this new promo is all about. Following on from the cessation of Pro Tools Perpetual License Reinstatement Plans in late 2019, Avid is now offering incentives to encourage perpetual license holders to move over to an equivalent rental subscription plan by offering up to 67% off the first year’s subscription as well as allowing you to keep your perpetual license.
