Given that during the webinar, Tim said that EDU licenses were already aggresively priced and that they had not considered changing the T&C of such licenses yet, but may look into it in due course, I suspect that the option to rent pkugins as part of the suppirt plan will not be available to students 'at this time'. When Pro Tools 12 was announced, we were told that people on the $99 per upgrade deal would, when upgrading to PT12, be automaticalky transferred onto the new $99 per year suppirt plan deal, as the price difference was 'negligible', even though, based on previous history of paid upgrades around once every two years, this is actually a doubling of cost. If that fails, then my second student license will be on the four years of upgrades at $99 per upgrade deal. Studica says they supplied it in good faith having been themsrlves supplied with it by Avid European Distributor, who in turn say they supplied it in good faith having been given the stock by Avid.Īt this stage I'm despairing of it ever being resolved, but after a upcoming holiday I intend to take the case to Trading Standards, ad, after all, I only want what Studica advertised. Avid refuses to accept it, saying I need to take it up with my supplier. I bought it after the PT11 announcement, but Studica were still advertising PT10 with 4 years of free upgrades, so I bought it. My second student license is still, after two years going through a dispute process with, who I bought it from. There is currently no way for me to get the 11.3.2 update, it does not appear in any of the three entries in my Avid account for the Pro Tools 11 licenses. I am able to update to 12.2 via the Application Manager, but that method doesn't give me direct access to the installer file for archiving purposes. People without a plan don't have tjose links yet. This, I think, is the reason for current chaos among people like me, as only those people on support plans appear to have been provided with installer links for 11.3.2 and 12.2 in their Avid accounts. One is a 'four years of free upgrades' version, and I have been given a license for PT12, but no support plan. I also have 2x vanilla licenses, bought as a mature student. I'm in a similar position, I have a 10+11HD license bundle, but as a PT10 + Complete Production Toolkit upgrade to HD. To me, people like me should get some kind of a break in either upgrade pricing and/or the extra's as there should be a significant discount for education users vs regular users as there always has been and like there is now, for anyone buying education today.įor those that may be curious, I own both PTHD10/11 as well as the education version of PT10/11 Vanilla, I get my eligibility for that because we Homeschool our kids, and my son uses PT10/11 Vanilla. If I do decide to upgrade, how do I even do that, as there is nothing on the Avid store for upgrading student version from PT10/11 to PT12? If the annual upgrade stays the same at 99.00 for the education version, will I get the free plugins and support, or will I have to pay another 99.00 like regular non education users do?ĥ. Now that Non Education users can upgrade just the software, without support and plugins for 99.00, will my annual cost get reduced?Ĥ. If I upgrade to PT12 will I get all the free plugins?ģ. If I upgrade prior to September 30, do I get Eleven for Free?Ģ. How is that affected by the new policies?ġ. For people like me who own PT10/11 Education that do not get the upgrade every year for free, but for $99.00.
