Yes, it is indeed in the "Third-Party Libraries" list.
But even though it's listed in my "Registered Products" here is what I get when I try to buy the Kontakt crossgrade: "None of the qualifying products are registered to your account".
This was not the case a few weeks ago.

From a purely legal perspective, if they list it they need to honor that. (Although there really isn‘t much you can do if they don‘t.) I would open a support ticket and ask what is going on. There still is the possibility that this is just a system glitch.

There is no list for libraries qualifying for the crossgrade so they are not held to anything.
I just bought a Sonokinetic library (the Halloween promotion) for 25 euros and am happy to discover that it qualifies for the crossgrade.

if the vouchers are transferable, and one is going unused, i'd pay $60 for a $100 voucher

Seem to remember there was some controversy about the last Arturia V Collection upgrade being the lowest ever price but it appears that you can now buy it outright from Native Instruments for £219 - is that lower than the upgrade from 5 to 6 was offered?

Thats an excellent deal

Upgrade was $199 (£153) from Arturia or a bit cheaper from JRR / Audiodeluxe

Laughable. As a v5 owner

Not really in the market for more synths atm so wasn't going to bite myself but did think it a bit cheeky given how much they asked for the upgrade. Mind you, has been a year since release so probably trying to get everyone in for the next upgrade milking.

While I appreciate NI's endeavors, and agree that Arturia should be onboard to support them, this is a big middle finger to loyal supporters. Personally, I have upgraded since V2. And while there has been a degree of generosity from them earlier, there is none now. I would gladly pay $99 for the upgrade as I feel it is worth it. Now, through NI I can get a whole new license for the price of the upgrade through my Arturia account. Just a bad business model and non-supportive of those who MADE them.

I bet that V7 is around the corner…
Everybody with V6 will get the offer to upgrade to it for supa doopa 199$…
And in one year you can buy V7 for 250$ at NI...
That‘s a far better cash generation than subscription models!

I kinda agree, 5 was out summer 2016 and 6 last November IIRC so guessing it's a roughly 18 month release schedule. Does work out about £10 per instrument under the NI deal, but figure that the upgrade will work out at over £50 each for the additional instruments.

We all love a no brainer bargain, until we missed it and paid more.
