Students who are still waiting, we would recommend that you log into your account on the Avid site by clicking on the My Account link near the top right hand corner of pages on the Avid Site, and logging into your account. In Your Account under My Products, click on the View My Product Details link and check that Avid have your Pro Tools 9 or 10 Academic version listed as one of your products. If you do they know you have it and you should get one of these emails very soon. If it is not there then you are going to need to prove to Avid that you own an Academic license to be able to be eligible for the free upgrade.
