I'm planning on switching to Fedora Silverblue when version 39 comes out in about a month. I'll be redoing my system at that point and ready to start testing things. I'll probably set up an Ubuntu toolbox and try running everything through there. I'm always looking for quality apps that work on Linux and use just Serial number or keyfile support.

The update to v4.0 is a major update. The upgrade is free for anyone who bought Gladiator directly from tone2.com after April 2023. All others can upgrade with a big discount ($39).

Wow, that's a very generous upgrade price!

Looking forward to v4. Thanks Markus!

It looks like WINE has supported direct2d 1.2 since version 4.0. What version of direct2d do your apps require?

I think it's direct 2d 1.1 or higher (works with Windows 7 or higher).
I am running Zorin Linux. I really like this OS. It works fine also with very old computers.

Q1: I haven't been following the thread. What is new in v4?
Q2: Will resellers be selling the upgrade?

I own a full license for Tone2 Gladiator 3 Expanded

Q2: Will resellers be selling the upgrade?

There are currently no plans to sell the upgrade through resellers. It is not economic for us as only €8 would remain for us after all costs, fees and taxes.
Gladiator4 and the upgrade is available here: https://www.tone2.com/gladiator.html

If I got the license second-hand (license transfer) in July, does that mean I have to pay to upgrade?

Than you EnGee & Markus Krause.

Thank you for your purchase!

My new key says Gladiator2.t2k
I thought it might say Gladiator4

Actually, my old key for Gladiator 3 Expanded was gladiator2exp1.t2k, so I assume the numbering is normal.

"The upgrade is free for anyone who bought Gladiator directly from tone2.com after April 2023. All others can upgrade with a big discount."

I checked it out:
You did not buy Gladiator from us. You bought it second hand from a private person and the license of the previous owner was for Gladiator2 and already 10(!) years old. Apart from this not even the previous owner did buy Gladiator from us. He had purchased it in the year 2013 from a 3rd party distributor with a discount. And he already had received a free upgrade to Gladiator3 from us.
However you currently own a valid Gladiator 2 license. You can upgrade to Gladiator3 for free or you can get Gladiator4 with a big discount ($39 instead of $169).

I did not change the file name of the key for Gladiator3 or 4. This makes it more comfortable and easy to install the upgrades as you only need to run the installer.

Thanks, Marcus, for the very kind upgrade pricing. Is there a date on which this pricing will expire or is it permanent?

Available now: Tone2 Gladiator4 - Harmonic Content Morphing synthesizer
