Important Notes

V7 and V6 can run concurrently on the same computer. However, V7 and Waves versions V4 and V5 cannot. Exception: V7 is compatible with all versions of The JJP Collection and GTR3.

All previous versions of products that you update will be removed from your iLok and replaced by V7. After updating to V7, you will not be able to use these versions again.
