No problems with the program as such, but I wasnt aware that you have to pay separately for a Mac and PC version. I have a PC in the studio and a Mac laptop (im sure Im not the only one out there who 'crosses streams'). Asking customers to pay for the program twice to accomodate your OS is a bit much IMHO. At least, its not something Ive experienced too much when buying plugins and DAWs. Consider it a heads up if youre thinking of getting it.

Disappointing Mad

Worth looking into running VirtualBox on your Mac laptop maybe? We're doing that more and more for staff here who need access to one or two individual PC applications.

I was pissed when I found this out as well, I actually emailed them thinking it was an error.

Doesn't matter now anyway, the songs I need keys for I get from Beatport, and they have the song's keys on the site now.

Dont know much about VirtualBox - will check it out. I installed it on my Lac laptop but I'd get more use from it on my PC studio system. They let you change the licence from one to the other - how nice of them. I too thought it was error and emailed. I could'nt seem to find any information that clearly detailed this before I bought it. They have download tabs for PC and Mac version but that doesnt automatically mean you have to pay for both. Wont be giving them any more money.
