I don't remember: do 3rd party vendors get in on the half-price upgrades?

They often do, but, it will take a while for them to update their websites. Waiting on Uncle E to get on with business

I did not see an upgrade from Komplete 11 to Komplete 11 Ultimate.

just log in to your account, you should see the crossgrade offer for 299

Thanks. I saw it right before you responded.

But then after giving it some thought I will probably upgrade/crossgrade? from K11 to K12U at the next release for $600. The problem then is that hereafter I must stay with the Ultimate.

Not necessarily. I believe that since you are "upgrading" you will still have a license for K11 (standard) in your account. There's no reason that you couldn't also later "update" that to 12 thus giving you the instruments in K11U plus whatever important stuff comes with K12.

I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm thinking about K11U since I'm still on K9 and there is a lot of stuff in U that I want, but, I doubt very seriously that K12U will tempt me at all. It's all about that marginal additional value you know.

If you are correct than things are looking up.

So upgrade from K11 to KU11 now.
later upgrade to K12 and will still have access to all of KU11.

I knew a summer Native Instruments sale was coming and yet I still forgot to save the monies I need for a K11->K11U upgrade

Thanks. The Replika XT upgrade is now included in the half off sale.. finally.

I asked for help from the Musical Gods.
No, they cannot help me financially but they made a few suggestions.
Hey, I thought they were all powerful.
Perhaps they do not want to give me money for my own good!
Cheapskates!

My feeling is that Komplete 12 will be the BIG Release so wait for then to upgrade to K12 Ultimate. Well decide then if to move up to the Ultimate.

My main desire is Replika XT and now on sale for $25. So will get that!

My other plugins in my get list are all for Reaktor and are not essential.
Molekular $149,
SKANNER XT $49,
Flesh $99,
So get them on sale or form individuals.

So I will very likely pass up the K11 Ultimate upgrade from K11 and wait to see what Komplete 12 brings. I bet it will be Fantastic!

Yay! At last

Nice NI. So just to be clear I have k10u. Can I get the k11u update now for $199 and then when k12 comes out get the k12update for the update price? Can you just keep updating every year for the update price? Or is it a 1 time thing?

Also new trackspark is out. is it me or is that echo thief of poor quality? I had to uninstall it almost immediately lol.

They do, but so far they only had the boxed versions if I remember correctly. Download you could only get directly from NI. Not sure if it is different this time but it does not look that way. Time & Space would be the cheapest but the shipping is a bit of a hassle. And sometimes they allow only shipping within the UK.

Yes, you keep a license for Komplete when you upgrade to Ultimate. And that allows you to later update either Komplete or Ultimate (provided that NI will allow to update K9 to K12).

If you order the boxed version from NI do they put the serial in your account right away, or, do you have to wait for the box to arrive? I'm assuming the latter.

[sellyoursoul]

Too bad NI isn't offering the upgrade discount for Reaktor. Buying a Reaktor license is the same price as Komplete Select. What's the deal?

[dangayle]

And here come the bargain basement deals from people who upgraded to Komplete or Komplete Ultimate and have extra licenses hanging around. (Myself included.)

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, the latter. At least it has been that way since the first ultimate version. The serial is associated with boxed version and they probably can't guess what box is being shipped to you when you place the order.

Yep, as i remember before was more various ways for upgrade (include from reaktor or guitar rig) but then it's was removed it seems, bad. Ie become a less sense to buy singles (even with discount)
