Note there were a couple of years where Avid didn't release a paid-for upgrade, but those have been taken into consideration in the annual average figures. The prices are based on the upgrading as each paid upgrade came along and not missing out any version of Pro Tools, which is a fair comparison to the current plans, and therefore includes the reduced upgrade pricing that occurred with some relatively close upgrades. This first table shows the Paid For Pro Tools Upgrades and the prices Digidesign and Avid charged for these upgrades based on my research.
I went back to Pro Tools 6 released in 2003 and worked my way through to the introduction of upgrade and support plans during the life of Pro Tools 11 finding out what the costs of each of the paid upgrades were. My research turned out not to be as easy as I hoped and it took a lot of detective work to find the information. So we have researched this to see how true this might be. Whenever we announce a new version of Pro Tools, we usually get a number of comments here on the site, in Podcast questions and on social media that the current upgrade plans are a rip-off and why can't we go back to the old way of paid-for and free upgrades.
