Avid Pro Tools Overview

This upgrade is also available to owners of a Perpetual license of Pro Tools 9 through 11 (Retail).

What's Included and How to Manage Your 1-Year Plan
  • Latest version of Pro Tools Studio.
  • 1-year access to all available Pro Tools Studio updates. Keep all installed updates after the 12-month period expires.
  • 1-year access to Standard support with unlimited online technical support plus billing and account help—response within 24 to 48 hours.
  • 1-year access to the Complete Production Bundle (over 115 plug-ins) and HEAT add-on. Once your 1-Year Updates and Support Plan lapses, you no longer have access to the Complete Production Bundle unless you renew or resubscribe.

  • Users who wish to retain access to software updates, Standard support, and the Complete Production Bundle after the initial 1-year period need to purchase another Studio Perpetual License Upgrade.

I have the mac book pro 2016, will this pro tools works on my computer? im also a student from Argentina Buenos Aires,can I buy the student version?
Asked by: Corina S.
There should be no issue running a 2016 mac book pro with this version of pro tools. The student version sold here at B&H is available only to students in U.S. accredited institutions. You may purchase a student version in Argentina nonetheless.

question

Does it Come with Ilock two or three ?
Asked by: Anonymous
Because all software packages are sealed for the consumers' protection, there is no way of knowing which iLok version is included; and AVID does not list this information explicitly. Here is some information you may find useful however. The ilok2 has been discontinued for some time now, but it is highly probable there are still software packages with the old iLok. The iLOk 3 (B&H# PAILOK3) is available for purchase separately on our site, offering smaller yet stronger housing, with the 3 times the amount of storage space.
