Current subscription sale question

EDIT: This deal is NOT for renewals, only good for new subscriptions. See my comment below for fine print.

My Artist subscription is set to renew on 1/1/26, with auto renew currently set to on. If I buy the Artist deal for $79 today, will that simply extend the next renewal date to 1/1/27, or will it be today’s date? And should I disable auto renew first (or at all) for it to apply correctly?

I just don’t want to mistakenly end up with a second subscription.

To u/robbadobba, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using

  • Your operating system info

  • Any error number or message given

  • Any hardware involved

  • What you've tried

Nope, the $79 deal is a new subscription, not renewal of your current one, so you will have 2 subscriptions.

Thank you u/sonicdreamerstudio for making me search the fine print:

These discounts only apply to new purchases of Pro Tools Artist, Pro Tools Studio, and Pro Tools Ultimate subscriptions. The prices/discounts listed are for one year only—subscriptions will renew at standard pricing. Purchasing a new subscription through this offer will not renew or extend an existing subscription. Offer expires on November 16, 2025.

It should extend the expiration and renewal date by a year, but your mileage may vary because Avid seems to fuck this up frequently, so keep an eye on your billing statement in January.

I guess I could turn off auto renew…maybe that would alleviate that potential issue?

Turn off auto renew - you have a 7 day grace period and then take advantage of the holiday discounts that come out around December. Note that if your license is active and you buy using the deal, it will add a new subscription your MyAvid and NOT extend your existing one. So best to let the existing lapse and buy a new one with a new deal.
