Thanks for the info! Sorry but one last question. The only caveat is that you need a Gobbler account and client to install.
The new licenses are marked as subscription with end dates listed where my perpetual licenses have no end date.

Because I own a few of these I get 4 months of everything for free so I can check out VBC and FGX as well as the new EQ modules and the Lx480 (which is stereo only btw, no mono instance and has it's own subscription license). I own the Mix Rack bundle which is still in place (VMR Bundle) as well as VCC and VTM but additional authorizations are included in the new Mix/Master bundle so there are redundant licenses for the mix rack modules, VTM etc. They are labeled differently in the iLok License Manager. So I guess 'every plugin we have and will continue to make' may have a gotcha but at least this time it's in not-so-small print. Whether that's annual price or it drops to $240 for the next year - I don't know. That's in another bundle that costs $299. One little thing: the $240 does not include the LX480 reverb. It took a good 5 minutes for the site to come up after I clicked the link (which I did before I started typing this) and yes you still have the option to buy. Same for PT although I don't trust Avid to not go sub only either. Subscription is why I froze my Adobe Audition at the last version before that went subscription - they have no buy option. It's like auto-pay for bills - never had it, don't want it, don't trust it. I don't deal well with subscription software I want to have outright access without having to worry if my monthly fee has been paid by my credit card. I just got the email on this today same email also introduced the Slate Digital Mix/Master bundles. And if you get free months based on how many Slate plugins you own already. You get every single new plugin they do for the same $19.99/mnth. Slate subscription is really good after watching the video.

How many of us have computers full of plugins and every end of session winds up being same old waves plugins we had for years. How many people buy plugins constantly, full price, based on hype and never use them past the first month. IMO, plugin subscription option is a good thing. Or you can sub for $19.99/mnth for everything. From what I remember you still have option to buy. I thought this was already in place from January.
