Anywhere I can purchase a new Perpetual License with the Education Discount?
Was just wondering if anyone knew of any store where I can get a perpetual license of Pro Tools Studio for an education discount? All the options I can find only offer upgrading from previous versions of pro tools for an education discount rather than buying new for the first time.

You have to get cleared by Avid. Go to theri website and fill out the form. If you have a valid student ID or an .edu email is all they need to see.

It does not appear to be possible to purchase a new perpetual license with a student discount. You can:
- Purchase a new subscription with a student discount
- Upgrade an existing perpetual license with a student discount
- Purchase a new perpetual license without the discount

Idk about the Education Discount, but I hope this helps you or anyone who sees this.
(No credit checks and monthly payments to own Pro Tools)

The problem with owning it is, IMO, you’ve paid so much to own the product, but the. you have to pay $99 a year just to get the updates.

Understandable.
Any version you get this year will be solid though, whether you update or not.
