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. 
 

There is also the $29.99 a month plan...

which will also bugger out if you don't pay...

Yeah...   No keep, no pay.   Simples for me.

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.
