Thomann USA have the Komplete 14 Update for 89 USD. FYI

Yeah, that's probably where I'll buy the Update. It's basically $45 apiece for Kontakt 7 and Ozone 10 Standard, don't really care about most of the most of the other new content.

May be of interest to some folks that Thomann also tosses in a $29.99 Plugin Alliance coupon. If it doesn't have an expiration date, it might be worthwhile to hang onto in case they release something interesting in the future, or do some other cross-vendor promo where it could be used.

Also, also includes the $25 coupon for the NI online shop.

Where do you see the PA coupon with your order?

The first bullet list on the linked page has this:

'Includes 25.00 EUR voucher for the Native Instruments online shop as well as a "Buy any plug-in" voucher worth 29.99 EUR for use in the Plugin Alliance online shop'

They're not making a big deal about it, I guess. Which seems right and proper to me.

... I haven't actually bought it yet, so I'm not sure where or how it shows up in the end. Probably a confirmation email?

Yes, I saw that on the item page. But I never got an email about it after buying. I got an email with the K14 serial code from Thomann and that is all.

After I registered that code with NI, then NI sent an email with the PA bundle code.

But no where did I see a voucher/coupon.

Update: I don't think it really matters for me either as I noticed, in the invoice description, it says

Code: Select all

"incl. 25,00 EUR voucher for the Native
Instruments online shop as well as a “Buy any plugin for €29.99” e-voucher to use at the Plugin Alliance online shop"

I was initially under the impression it was pick a plugin for free (no additional cost) worth up to 29.99. But that doesn't seem to be the case. It looks like one can spend another 30 bucks to buy a PA plugin if they want.

That is the exact opposite of what's on the original sale page. That copy says it's a voucher worth $29.99.

I suspect you're right, though. If so, that is INCREDIBLY cheesy of them.

In your NI account take a look in your products and serials. When I updated to Komplete Standard I got the NI $25 Voucher and a 3x bundled PA serial. I can’t remember NI notifying me of this. I just happened to stumble upon it.

I'm there now but only see the PA serial for the bundled software (under 'Third Party Products') and no vouchers (be it from NI or PA).

Oh well. I didn't really want the NI voucher as they usually stipulate you must spend more than the 25 and the PA voucher looks to be the same, from the invoice description (wherever the voucher is actually located).

Same here if its any consolation. No email and no voucher codes other than a PA bundle thing.
Looking at the Komplete compare section of the NI website the only mention of an e-voucher is the PA one, so I wonder if they've removed the other bits for the duration of the sale.

Oh boy! Universal Audio really got into the sales game, didn't they?

I wonder if we can use the code SAVE25 on their website more than once. And if they are giving us "THANK YOU" coupons after the purchase.

I've just used the SAVE25 and when I try to buy something else it doesn't work, so no. I am waiting to see if they'll send the THANK YOU

That's a bummer... UAD Support said (in another well known forum) that THANK YOU codes will be triggered during this sale, so it's not so bad.

Yep. I just got Thank You code after each sale item purchase

Just making sure, after you use the unique $25 "Thanks" code (no minimum cart value) for your purchase, you received another unique $25 "Thanks" code which you can use for a follow-up purchase?

Just a reminder that for Izotope sale, resellers seems to have bigger discounts e.g. JRR (and with extra Group goodness!)
