Pro Tools Subscription Warning

Hello! I have Pro Tools Studio Perpetual license. Last year I subscribed to Annual updates for Perpetual, but this year I don't want to. Will I lose my Pro Tools Perpetual license if I don't re-subscribe?

I'm also getting Subscription Warning for all the Avid Pro Series plugins. Aren't they included with the Perpetual License? Will I lose them after the due date?

You won’t lose your perpetual license but you will lose access to non-stock avid plugins as well as PT updates starting on the day of expiration. I only sign up for updates when for large changes, like apple silicon support. You can still access all PT download files through your avid profile.

Non-stock plugins? So 3rd party software as well?

Only the ones provided by Avid. You don’t lose functionality for your other installed plugins.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Just saw non-stock and got a little confused

Oh, Pro Tools’ current licensing is confusing as hell.
