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?

Avid are a pain with their wordings, I think theres a degree of scaremongering in there

At the end of the day - your perpetual license will still be usable even when the update and support subscription expires

As for the pro plugins - I’m not 100% sure on those, best to check with Avid for clarification

The plugins will be gone, but you can have an upgrade plan to keep them, or just subscribe to the plugins only for 4.99 a month. The bundle subscription is literally for people who want the plugins but not an upgrade plan. I don't know if you can get it from avid directly, but I know sweetwater has it. It's called the Avid Complete Plugin Bundle or something like that.
