6 Working with Subscription Models
With Application Manager, you can have a subscription to a single application or a set consisting
of an application and its options and plug-ins. Some plug-ins are part of the application, they are
bought and installed along with the application. Other plug-ins must be purchased additionally.
To learn more about purchasing plug-ins for Pro Tools, refer to Purchasing Pro Tools Plug-Ins.
There are two types of subscription models:
• Individual Membership - Subscriptions (either Single Product or Suite) are purchased and
managed by a single user/customer
• Team/Company Membership - Subscriptions (either Single Product or Suite) are purchased
in volume (by seat) by a company/business and managed by their local administrator. Each
team member has access to the subscription.
Subscription is managed from your online portal at www.avid.com/account. You can purchase
Subscription through Web store, Avid Sales, and Channel (resellers or distributors).
Subscription "To Rent"
The Subscription "To Rent" model is based on monthly payments. You will be notified daily
about the next monthly payment by a pop-up notification within seven days - three days before
the renewal date and four days after its planned renewal date, so you have an opportunity to
connect to the Internet before the renewal expires.
Once the Subscription ends, the application functionality is no longer available. If you start the
application, it prompts you to purchase the subscription.
Subscription "To Own"
This Subscription model provides for full payment at the point of sale (POS). This kind of
subscription provides you with a perpetual license and a Support plan only for a year. If the
Support period (1 year) has ended, you can continue using your current version of the
application, but no updates will be available. The Subscription update is not renewable.
