How do I transfer ownership of a Pro Tools system?

Posted in Pro Tools

To transfer the registration of used Avid Audio hardware, you will need to fill out a Transfer of Ownership Form. Transfer of registration only entitles you to participate in the Avid Audio Hardware Exchange Program and certain repair services for your hardware (repair fees will apply). Please download and print the form, complete the relevant sections and raise an online registration case in the Avid Support Center, attaching the completed form

PLEASE NOTE:

If you are selling a used system, you should fill out the seller's portion of the Transfer of Ownership Form and include it with the sale.

The Pro Tools license is included with Pro Tools core hardware systems and cannot be sold separately (this includes any upgrades to the Pro Tools software). If you sell a core system, the included Pro Tools license then becomes the property of the new owner, and any future update or upgrade rights are transferred as well.

The seller is responsible for providing all Pro Tools software and Pro Tools authorizations for that software that should be included with a used core system. If the current software and authorizations were not included, the buyer must purchase a Pro Tools software upgrade from the AvidStore or an Authorized Avid Dealer. All purchased Pro Tools upgrades are complete installers that do not require previous installation of Pro Tools or registration, either to purchase or install the Pro Tools upgrades.

Registration of Plug-Ins and Optional Software Not Transferable

Avid will NOT transfer product registration for used plug-ins or other optional software from the original owner to another owner. Transfer of iLok authorizations by buyers and sellers can be done at www.iLok.com. Transfer of iLok licenses are between the individual parties. Avid will only register software purchased by the original owner, and only when purchased from an Authorized Avid Dealer.

Authorized US Avid dealers do not sell Avid products on eBay.com or other online auction sites in the US. If you purchase an Avid product from an online auction site - such as eBay -you may be purchasing from someone other than an Authorized Avid Dealer, and your software product may not be registerable.
