No hatred or hard feelings to IK (I like their stuff since decades), but i must point out my bad experience with their module manager.

Oh I see, I don’t have T6 yet. I guess I’ll hold off for a while.

As a counterpoint I've upgraded to TR6 twice in recent times. Once from TR5 to TR6 then to TR6 Max.
I've not experienced the same issue as reported above but it's a fair point that the IK Product Manager can be very wonky at times. It has certainly given me headaches in the past but all the modules do show up after installing the latest upgrade.

At any rate I'm very happy with the current Total Studio Max deal which I paid $79 for so I'd hate to see anyone miss out on taking advantage of that deal before it expires.

Yeah you might be rolling the dice with the Product Manager but I think the risk is worth the reward in this case.

(As I wrote earlier if anyone has chosen to exclude any of the modules using the "Modules Manager" make sure to reverse that choice or those modules will not install even with an upgrade. That one gave me fits for a couple of hours while trying to install a particular module before I finaly figured out what was going on.)

Re: the current Soundtoys deal , I went check my offers and was prompted to change my WORKING password because they decided that the current WORKING password wasnt good enough. Before saying anymore, I know I'm just one guy carping but this is too much. I just checked and I have approx 400 passwords from music sites. The sites that are by far most important to me and are the biggest music sites in the business have had the same passes for more than a decade. To me Soundtoys is a great maker but a minor role in my world; nothing they make is essential to me.I'm not getting jerked around yet again. Of course this is a small thing but I'm glad to get this off my chest. Companies should think about customers and their ease of experience at least once in a while.

I'd recommend using a password manager. It really helps with stuff like this.

Yeah, my usual password "123456" doesn't work as well.
Scandal!

Good day good Sir, just for fun let's play what is your robot name.

To get that, your first name is the long number off your credit card, then as a middle name the expiry date and then surname is the CVC code.

What's yours?

I don't understand the SoundToys deal. It says I'm on version 5.5.2. What am I getting for the $19 upgrade? (nevermind, I'm on 5.4. Still doesn't seem to be worth upgrading, even for $19..)

[Basseldon]

The best thing for me is you can resize it now. You also get some new presets and they added spaceblender but I wouldn't upgrade for those two things.

You get to use Space Blender in Effect Rack and resizeable UI. The latter was worth it for me.

Edit: Basseldon beat me to it.

Resizeable UI you can get for free.
Without upgrade.

Space Blender is resizable but my understanding is that only with 5.5 are all the plugins resizable.

If I understand it correctly, resizable UI is a part of an UPDATE, not UPGRADE. So it's free.
But you can't install just new UI. It seems to me that those who have 5.4 bundle and Space Blender don't really need this UPGRADE, all they'll get is a different text in their account. I may be wrong. It's all really confusing.

I can confirm. Resizable UI update is free. I own the bundle (since 2018, it was 5.2 last time I checked) and was able to download the 5.5 version and run it without problems (plugins are resizable, not hi-def graphics but it helps). I have Space Blender but I don't have super plate. My guess is that my $39 upgrade price is for super plate and the rack (which I don't need).
