Regular Updates and Upgrades

With a subscription license to Avid Pro Tools or Media Composer, your team can receive new feature upgrades and updates at no cost for as long as you keep renewing your license. Purchasing a perpetual license will give you one-year of updates with the option to renew the subscription once these expire. Compared to traditional perpetual license releases, you’d have to wait and pay for updates and upgrades during major software releases which come every few years.

Scalable

For larger scale media enterprises, Avid offers floating license options. Essentially, you’d purchase “packs” or shared licenses to distribute as you please across your organization. You can have multiple editors using the software simultaneously and can scale as you grow. If you need to give more users access to Avid Media Composer 8 or Avid Pro Tools 12, you can simply buy additional packs (20 or 50-pack options). Smaller packs may be available in the future.
