PT12 and PT12 HD surround?

Question #1

So are there still 2 different licenses for Pro Tools 12?

HD giving you 8 wide bussing for surround?

I see a lot of mention of pt 12 but not so much on 12 HD



Question #2



Will the Surround version (PT 12 HD) allow you to use other hardware for surround outputs, Apogee, MOTU, UA ?





Thanks
