You can crossgrade to the full Philharmonik if you have CE or any of the qualifying products. Or one could pay under 50 bucks and get in on the Group Buy if they want that stuff, then crossgrade to Philharmonik and load the Philharmonik sounds into the SampleTank you get with it (which is not feature-limited in any way)

I've just been pointed at this thread:

I think Nalpeiron may use the MBR to protect from unauthorized cloning of a hard-drive, thus preventing "ghosting" of licenses.
Nalpeiron is the copy-protection used by Notion 3. If indeed it is writing to the MBR or I cannot do an image backup of my disk, including MBR, then I've got to pass this by. I hope that I have misunderstood.
I talked to Notion tech support and they said that that feature of the copy protection software is turned off so there should be no problem ghosting. He said that the person on the forum with the problem was a unique case that they worked with him on. I got the feeling they wouldn't leave anyone hanging.

From what I've heard, Notion 3 is a resource hog. I don't know about the SLE version though. Apparently, the full version of Notion opens a new instance of Philharmonik for each part (it doesn't take advantage of Miroslav's own multitimbrality) so - even if Miroslav itself is very CPU efficient - you need a really powerful computer to use Notion with it for more than a few instruments at a time (20 instances of Philharmonik for 20 different parts!). Can anyone confirm this?

It does take advantage of Miroslav Philharmonik's multitimbral features - just not exactly as you might be thinking. A simple staff for, say, clarinet will actually load up many/most of the 16 slots in an instance due to the need to support many articulations and such. RAM is the most concern, from my experience and luckily that's mainly an issue from instantiating parts instead of instances. My best results are on the laptop I'm using right now - 4GB RAM with an i5 processor running Windows 7 64-bit.
