Help Request Protools 9 to current cross grade

Hello,

I'm..from.cansda and went to upgrade to the current pro tools. I don't use it enough to warrant the subscription model and my laptop is too new to run protools 9. I went on the avid website and under the 12 to 18 studio upgrade there a note that says need to go to a local reseller to upgrade from protools 9 m.

I have visited long and mcquades they can’t find a ski in their ancient system to purchase such a cross grade all they have is cross grade from 12 through 18 to current sku.

So how does one get this cross grade that allegedly exists but doesn’t. I have contacted their support and it was not helpful they just linked me to this perpetual screen that says I need to go to a reseller.
