Avid Pro Tools Annual Upgrade and Support Plan (Boxed Avtivation Card and Code)

Pro Tools redefined the music, film, and TV industry, providing everything you need to compose, record, edit, and mix audio. And now with Pro Tools 12, which sets the stage for Avid Cloud Collaboration and the upcoming Avid Marketplace, you can access the industry standard in more affordable ways than ever. Create with a low-cost subscription or own the software or a complete system outright (perpetual license).

Qualifying upgrades

• Pro Tools 9, 10, or 11 (or 12 if you purchased a new Pro Tools system)
• Pro Tools Express bundled with Pro Tools | Mbox, Fast Track Solo, or Fast Track Duo interfaces only (InMusic versions of Pro Tools Express are not eligible)
• Pro Tools M-Powered 6–8 or MP 9

Pro Tools | HD upgrades*

• Pro Tools | HD 9, 10, or 11 (or 12 if you purchased a new Pro Tools | HD system)
• Pro Tools 9 or 10 with the Complete Production Toolkit

All Pro Tools upgrades and crossgrades include an annual Avid upgrade plan, renewable annually, which provides all future Pro Tools software upgrades for one full year—including the upcoming cloud collaboration and Avid Marketplace features—plus, access to world-class professional support around the clock. After one year, simply renew your plan annually to stay current.

Got a new Pro Tools system?

All Pro Tools and Pro Tools | HD upgrades are now only available through an annual upgrade plan. Because Pro Tools and Pro Tools | HD systems do not currently come with an annual plan, you can purchase a Pro Tools or Pro Tools | HD 12 upgrade above—even if your system came with version 12—to get on a plan, which provides one year of future upgrades, renewable annually.
