Hi there,
Really impressed with the Melda products, and the philosophy behind. I'm likely eventually moving towards the Total bundle upgrade and want to check if products bought from other users (ie license transfers, 20% fee) count towards the upgrade? Ie any products in my Melda account would be valued 50% of the listed price when upgrading?
Thanks in advance!
License transfer - Counted towards upgrades?

On you page when you login to your account it says how much you have spent on the plugins, and how much the upgrade would cost.

Thank you, of course. Just want to check before I buy any (potentially expensive) second hand transfers that they will also count towards an upgrade?starflakeprj wrote: Wed Aug 14, 2019 4:22 pm On you page when you login to your account it says how much you have spent on the plugins, and how much the upgrade would cost.

Aha, I understand. That I don't know, maybe you can do some backward calculation of the plugins you already have?

I currently don't have have any license transferred products (only bought direct from Melda or reseller), so unfortunately not able to check. The ones I have are accounted for correctly. I assume license transfers are treated as reseller, but want to confirm.starflakeprj wrote: Wed Aug 14, 2019 6:52 pm Aha, I understand.

By the way, I really like the licensing and upgrade path provided! Fantastic work!

Considering the cost of a license transfer, one would bloody hope so.

Of course, I sent the same message there as well at the time of my original post. Will let you know when I get a response. I assume others are also interested.DarkStar wrote: Thu Aug 15, 2019 8:40 am The best thing to do is contact MeldaProduction directly, at

Got a response from Melda:
"Yes, if you buy our plugins (bundle/s) via transfer option, then the upgrade price will be valued by 50% of the listed price (you have spent so far)."
The website states the following:
"How the upgrade prices are computed: we subtract 70% of what you have spent so far for the products included in the upgrade. We cannot know the actual price when you purchase from a reseller, so we assume 50% off, hence it is advantageous to purchase from us directly if you plan to upgrade. Minimum upgrade price is € 10."
To confirm for anyone new in case the description is confusing - if you buy anything from Melda, they credit you 70% of WHAT YOU'VE SPENT. If this is directly from their website, they know exactly how much you've spent, discounted or not. However, for anything transferred or bought from a reseller it is assumed you had 50% off on the listed price (as they can't know how much you paid), and you get 70% of that assumed amount credited ie you get 70% of 50% (= 35% of the listed price) credited towards upgrades.
Double checked myself in my account, including recent transfer.
Hope this helps.
