Pro Tools bundle: essential or coupon?

From Version 2020.11 onwards, every Pro Tools and Pro Tools Ultimate comes with a license for Melodyne 5 essential. If, however, you already own a Melodyne, we are offering you instead a coupon for our web shop. Here we will explain how this works.

Who gets a Melodyne 5 essential and how?

Melodyne 5 essential is included from Version 2020.11 upward, which you get if you have an active subscription for Pro Tools or purchased a Perpetual license and have an active Update + Support Plan for it.

Melodyne 5 essential is installed automatically along with Pro Tools unless the installation program discovers a version of Melodyne already installed on your computer, in which case your existing version of Melodyne will not be affected and a coupon for an update or upgrade will be substituted for the Melodyne 5 essential you don’t need.

Where can I find the serial number?

You will find the serial number of your Melodyne 5 essential in your Avid account. Log in and click on “View My Products” and you will see an entry for Melodyne 5 essential displaying the serial number.

How does the coupon work?

In our web shop, first place the update for your existing Melodyne or the desired upgrade in your shopping cart; then, when you come to pay, enter the serial number of your Melodyne 5 essential as your coupon code and click on “Redeem”.

The coupon has a value of €/US$ 20. This is what you will save if you use the coupon when upgrading to a larger edition of Melodyne or when adding a workstation to your existing license. If you use it when updating from an older version of Melodyne to the current edition, the coupon will save you even more:

  • Melodyne assistant: with the coupon, the update is free of charge, so you save 49 €/US$
  • Melodyne editor: with the coupon, the update costs only 29 €/US$, so you save 70 €/US$
  • Melodyne studio: with the coupon, the update costs only 49 €/US$, so you save 100 €/US$

What if I have already activated my Melodyne 5 essential by mistake?

In that case, you can still use the Melodyne 5 essential serial number as a coupon code. If you do so, however, you will no longer be able to reactivate your Melodyne 5 essential, as use of the coupon voids the license.

Coupons: terms and conditions of use

Pro Tools customers from version 2020.11 onwards are entitled to a serial number for Melodyne 5 essential. Pro Tools customers who are also already Melodyne customers can use this serial number instead on a single occasion as a Melodyne coupon in the Celemony web shop. Use of the coupon in this way voids the Melodyne 5 essential license.

  • The coupon is only valid in the Celemony web shop (under www.celemony.com) and only when purchasing Melodyne updates or upgrades or when adding an additional workstation to an existing Melodyne license. The coupon cannot be used for the purchase of any other products. When the coupon is used in the purchase of a product for which it is valid, you will be credited with the amount in question, which will therefore be subtracted from the purchase price.
  • The coupon can be redeemed within one year of receipt of the serial/coupon number and in any case within three months of the release of Melodyne 6.
  • Only one coupon can be redeemed per purchase transaction in the Celemony web shop. The coupon cannot be exchanged for cash.
  • The coupon cannot be used in combination with other coupons/discounts and cannot be redeemed for purchases already made.
