This is not correct. I own both, SONAR and Pro Tools. This is form Avids FAQ:
Q) Will Pro Tools stop working at the end of my Upgrade Plan term?
A) No, a perpetual license does not expire so you can continue to use Pro Tools regardless of your plan status. If you don't renew your Upgrade Plan before it expires, you can continue using the versions of software released during your Plan's term.
There is no mention in the OP about purchasing a PT perpetual license, the subscription does not come with a perpetual license.
So what is a perpetual licence? sorry i dont know alot about PT and there way off doing things! cheers
http://www.avid.de/pro-tools/how-to-buy2 first columns are: "Subscribe" and "Buy".
CW has "buy with month payment" and "buy with one payment". The first one, "buy with month payment", revert to "subscribe" ONLY in case you stop monthly payments within first 12 month. If you continue with monthly payments after 12 month, you have already bought the license and but continue to pay for monthly upgrades. Also after 12 month you can choose "one year of upgrades" one time payment, it is cheaper.
Since after 12 month you own Sonar license, per month price is obviously greater or equal "buy price" divided by 12.
Since after 12 month of ProTools subscription you own nothing, they can put prices they want (lower).
