Pro Tools Studio One-year Subscription for Schools, Colleges & Universities - ESD

Pro Tools has made a complete overhaul to how you buy your Pro tools software. Featuring a new model with monthly and annual subscriptions or a perpetual license, all software updates will be available as and when they are ready rather than piling up for a big Pro tools "x" release. As a result you will now always be up to date with the latest tools and work flow enhancements to help you make music creatively.

The Annual Subscription

The Annual Subscription offers a great choice for Pro Tools owners who don't want to pay a huge fee up front to pay for the software. Pay a years subscription and you will get full use of the Pro Tools software with all the support and updates that you need for that whole year. At the end of the year, you can either pay for another year straight away, or leave it for a few months when you don't need it and resubscribe when you're ready. You'll get another year of updates and support. You don't necessarily own the software like with the Perpetual license, but in comparison, you can dip in and dip out and it's a much cheaper option in the short term.
