But why keep the Perpetual? Why not just let it expire and purchase the Ultimate Subscription bundle instead? What angle am I missing here?

If I currently have a Perpetual license (with Symphony option, due to auto-renew tomorrow), how would I switch to a different plan (subscription?)? Where is this bundled product that includes Symphony, PhraseFind, ScriptSync, etc.?

Consider that with the subscription, you get all of the tools (MC, Symphony, PhraseFind, ScriptSync) included, it also doesn't make much logistical sense to persist with renewing perpetual licenses. I think Avid is one of the few companies that has made it pretty much a no-brainer to move on from the old model by offering the bundle for less than what it costs to re-up a perpetual single-product license.I'm not shilling, just a little befuddled at the latest rumblings in this group when this decision was made for me years ago. I'm glad they continue to offer it, I just do not know what benefit it has over the subscription.Dammit! I just renewed my Perpetual License with Avid at $514 . . . .Why do they wait until the last damn minute? :/Dennis Degan, Video Editor-Consultant-Knowledge Bank14 Pro MaxOn Nov 27, 2023, at 7:08 PM, Dennis Wiener <dwiener@earthlink.net> wrote:Plus you can usually find an online code to get you an additional 5% off your order. I've been using them for years and just renewed my Avid and Boris Continuum through themIt's approaching that time of the year when my perpetual licenses need renewing. A quick pass through the vendors I typically consider resulted in Avid being the lowest at $514 per seat, with Videoguys at $532 per seat. Then a Toolfarm email landed in my box and on a lark I checked to see if they were in the game. To my great surprise they are and their Cyber Monday special of $474.00 per seat prevailed.

Sorry for the late notice, I only found it a short while ago and wanted to make sure it worked. It does!
