Does anyone know if this is a subscription extension or for perpetual licenses?

I don't know what is Pro Tools (at least we have Smart Tools in Cakewalk) but the title says "annual update renewal plan" so I read it as subscription .

I'd question this one.  ProTools 12 has been gone for a couple years.  They are going by year now - the current is PT 2020.  And last I checked, the update price for the perpetual is $199.

I have a subscription - I think this is probably perpetual renewal.

I'm 99.9999999998% certain this would be a subscription renewal. As @Dzilizzi says the list price for a perpetual annual upgrade is $199. Subscription annual is $99.

For gits and shiggles I email jrr to absolutely confirm that .0000000012%.

So did I.  If it is perpetual because they have some old ones, I will grab one if I can.  I am currently good until 2022.  Not sure what I will do after that.

Ditto. I may even grab 2.

The link I posted is for perpetual, 1-year renewal for support & upgrades

Avid raised prices heavily ($199 currently). This may be "old stock" from before that increase but it still works (I did purchase 2 and the codes extended by 2 years the support&upgrade expiration date in my account)

Thank you - it worked for me as well.

Yes.  It added to my perpetual license.  I'm now good until 9/2024.  Gives me time to decide what to do.

bit the bullet on three of them

You can't use the link provided as that is for subscriptions.  But in your account, there is a spot to add renewal from distributors.  That is where I added it.

Thanks for that heads up.

[Bapu]

So for~$65 more than the current $199 price I got two extra years of support. Schweet.

I also have a 2nd (perpetual) copy I gifted to a friend which I have not transferred the license to yet. I upped him one more year.
