Avid tell us that they have been working hard with iLok to make sure that there aren't the same issues as we had with the Pro Tools 12 upgrade process. HD users on an active plan will also get the new DigiLink I/O license. Now with Pro Tools 12.6, when we upgrade to 12.6 we will need to surrender the Pro Tools 10/11/12 bundle and Avid will give us back a Pro Tools 10/1/11/12 bundle as well as a new Pro Tools Perpetual license. What happened (when it worked properly) is we had to surrender our Pro Tools 10/11 bundle and then Avid gave us back a new bundle that had Pro Tools 10,Р’В 11 & 12 licences. What will happen will be similar to when we upgraded to Pro Tools 12 but hopefully without the iLok problems that came with the process. However, the upgrade process for everyone on active upgrade/support plans will be a surrender and reinstatement process.

Even though the new Perpetual line is linked to your upgrade and support plan Avid assure us that even if you choose not to renew your plan, Pro Tools will still continue to work.
