I wonder if the price of 49 bucks for the update is intended or an error. After all, the bundle is brand new. Uncle E, any thoughts on this?

We put it up exactly as IZotope told us to put it up. There is no official word yet about what’s happening but our IZotope rep basically said it’s gone. If you had a license automatically issued after checkout, you’re fine. If there was no license issues at checkout, it means we will most likely have to refund you.

I've got a suspicion they realized all the keys (not sure about the actual MPS key but all the other stuff at least) didn't have any checks for whether the activator already had 5.2 or not, so basically anyone could pay $41 for at the very least Guitar Rig 7, the NI effects, Exponential reverbs, BX effects etc

You're probably right. I purchased the upgrade without qualifying for it, and they wouldn't supply a license without proof. Now I guess I'm waiting for a refund from jrr.

[Uncle E]

Also, why is there no upgrade from MPS3.1? Ever since purchasing it iZotope has been a master at repelling my interests in upgrading.

I hear you. Feeling like my Tonal Balance Bundle has dead-ended without upgrade unless I've overlooked something. Uncle E?

There’s no official word on that but it seems to me that both of you will need to do an “Upgrade from any Advanced product”.

Please PM me your order number and I’ll work on it today.

The way I understand it is that you could think of Theia as a Hyperion preset pack with a custom user interface that also works standalone without Hyperion. I also own Hyperion and got Theia for free. Installation was a bit of a hassle because the Tracktion download manager would not cooperate for some reason. But it did authorize in the end.

Best Auto-tune deal via image-line - Up to 57% off, Offer ends September 17, 2023

https://www.image-line.com/auto-tune/

Hi, maybe a very dumb question - sorry - but I want to be totally safe:
If I buy Auto-Tune via the Image Line Website I can use it also in other DAWs, right?
It's not tied to FL Studio...?

Just trying to follow along with all this. Do you mean iZotope wouldn't supply a license (wouldn't let you register the serial) without proof, or do you mean JRR wouldn't supply a license? Or getmylicense wouldn't?

I'm not sure, but the message said "...Please reply with that order information and we will submit it to iZotope." So jrr or getmylicense? I never received any license codes to try and register, if that helps.

[trager]

Thanks.

Let's assume someone selling the license for $10.
Every month there is a voucher ex. SEPTEMBER-25-OFF.
Probably can be used to pay for the transfer.
Is that the cheapest way to get PA plugins?

Yeah, been noticing that, too and it kinda sucks. I think the best deals I saw were directly from the loyalty offers in my iZotope account during a sale (there doesn't appear to be one right now). And then I guess it's either upgrade to Music Production Suite or the Mix & Master Bundle for most value.

Remember though that the minimum spent for those vouchers is $32.
Theoretically you also get dynamic discounts on transfer fees, so if you buy six transfer fees at once, you should get them 60% cheaper. I say theoretically because it's in their terms of service, but it didn't work for me. In the end after a few weeks of complaining, I got them without paying any transfer fee.
And yes, I think it's the cheapest way to get PA plugins. If you don't count the rare occasions where you can get some for free on the PA site (Mega-Sale with $20 vouchers without minimum).

How much is Arturia V Collection 9 if you happen to have Pigements 4 registered?

I only have Pigments (and Analog Lab V Lite, which shouldn't count, as I think it was free), and my current crossgrade to VC9 is $199.
