Avid Pro Tools Studio Perpetual License

With a perpetual license, purchase it once, and it’s yours to keep for a lifetime. Plus, enjoy a complimentary year of software upgrades to keep your tools up-to-date. To authorize the software, you’ll need either a physical iLok key or an iLok Cloud license (internet connection required).

Please note that this product is an eLicense/Serial-only version, meaning there is no physical box or product. You can easily download the software and authorize it using the serial number we provide. It’s important to mention that eLicenses are not typically stocked and may take between 24 to 48 hours to be supplied.

Pro Tools Studio is the core of a complete music production system, providing the creative canvas to produce larger, more compelling music with ease.
