It is OK to pay for new features but you should not pay for bug fixes, which is essentially repair of errors introduced by avid.

I think avids model is wrong, because no matter when your plan expires and you decide to stop, you will never get hold of the bug fix releases in order to "complete" your PT. Please correct me if that is wrong, since I haven't been able to try it out. So, even though the license is OK, the hurdle issued by avid is that you can't get hold of the installers for neither 12.5.1 nor 12.5.2 from your account, if your plan expired at 12.5.0. Just curious and thinking out loud !!!At 12.6.0 there was the need to update your license and in order to do this you need to be on an active plan.Īfter what I can read, the license covering e.g. say you have 12.5.0 and you install 12.5.2, will it work or not ? what if you Did install a later version ? what message does the software give you ? ie: you are not authorized to run this version of PT ? or ? and when does this kick in.
