Renews the Pro Tools Studio subscription with “Perpetual Parachute” that shipped with the Pro Tools Carbon audio interface between November 2020 and December 2022.

Pro Tools Carbon is an audio interface that combines your computer’s native processing power with onboard HDX DSP acceleration for low-latency music production. Between November 2020 and December 2022 it shipped with a Pro Tools subscription with “Perpetual Parachute”: according to Avid, when the subscription ends it turns into a perpetual licence that lets you keep using Pro Tools with Carbon, but access to the Avid Complete Plugin Bundle, Melodyne essential and HEAT is then lost. This item renews the Parachute subscription for Pro Tools Studio; Avid states that it can be renewed at any time.
