Avid PT 12 Subscription Question
Apologies if this was answered elsewhere,but
I can snag PT12 Student and Teachers Edition for 99 bucks but its an "Annual Subscription"
does that mean after 12 months the PT will stop working unless I renew?

To the best of my knowledge PT doesn't stop working...you just won't get the upgrades when
they become available unless you renew...

Thanks a bunch, Larry.
Now I have to decide if I want to dabble with PT or not, but that educational price is the cheapest I have seen.

Ive pulled the trigger on PT before, and lost interest in it as the workflow is wayyy different than Sonar©. I wish it came with the enthusiasm module

I would double check that. I'm not understanding it that way but I can't say for sure. It's definitely confusing. Me, I'm not going to upgrade until (unless) I see something substantial in the feature set. PT11 runs good enough at present.

I guess I should have qualified my statement...ONLY if you do the PAY ONCE option does it not stop working... I do the PAY ALL AT ONCE model...so mine won't stop working...I have PT 12, and I get PT 2016 for free as well...I have the licenses already on my EYE LOCK.. so I don't think they will stop working...I think you just don't get any more upgrades... Oh yes...and I still have PT 9, 10, and 11 licenses on my EYE lok... So, no matter what..even if that IS the case, I can revert back to 11... I think that only if you do the "annual $299" payment do you lose your license until you are paid up...

So if you currently OWN Pro Tools and upgrade to 12 you STILL own it.
BUT, if you want FUTURE upgrades it's $199 a year.
If you don't own it, and subscribe for $299 a year then it cuts
off after the year is up.
I have a perpetual license...and STILL get PT 2016 when it comes out...
I will still be able to use my current software, I just won't get future upgrades
if I don't pay the $199 a year upgrade cost...

Huh... I just noticed that PTLE doesn't seem to be on the upgrade list. Not that I have any dire need, but interesting none the less.

As long as you do the "perpetual" you still keep it... It's only if you do the "$299 a year or $29.99 a month" that you don't keep it... I have the perpetual license...

Perpetual as in $899?
Steve, Yes, I already owned the full version of Pro Tools. My upgrade to 11 was $199 (and further discounted when purchased from JRR). It gave me Pro Tools 11, 12, and 2016 perpetual Licenses...after that I will have to pay $199 in 2017 if I want to continue to upgrade. But, regardless, I still own the product and am technically not "subscribing"...

I guessed I missed the boat then... The $199 upgrade to v12 doesn't list pre-v9 PTLE as a candidate, though it does include Express and M-Powered. Odd.
