Live 7 Suite to Live 8 Suite costs?

davidvlh · Post by **davidvlh** » Fri Jan 16, 2009 7:33 am

I can't seem to find an upgrade cost for L7 Suite to L8 Suite. Can anyone answer this question? Or do I have to wait for it's release?

€I79 download / €229 boxed

Did you get a coupon ?

damn, 329 from 7 to 8 suite when I already own operator. oh well, I gotta do it

that + the 399 for apc40 and it looks like I'm gonna be out almost $800 soon.

oh shit.... then theres max for live.. god dammit... I'm gonna be spending more than $1000 this upgrade period? that's horse shit!

Thanks. Yeah, I got the coupon. So I might upgrade just to Live 8 and not to suite. I don't need collision or Latin Drums. So looks like I'll be out $159 for the upgrade. I hope it's worth it. I just forked over the money to upgrade a year ago.

However I do want to have the upgraded Operator.

If you upgrade Live, any improvements to instruments you have are upgraded (ie. operator). Upgrading the suite gives you the latin drums, extra content and the collision thing.

Perfect! I don't want to shell out extra for $$ for stuff I don't want or need. Thanks for the heads up.

So if you upgrade from 7 Suite to 8 Standard do you keep all the instruments you paid for in 7? Thats the most important part for me.

I have a boxed suite 7. Because of paying to customs extra $300 every time I get a box, I want to upgrade to 8, but to a downloadable version.

Now will I be able to upgrade to 9 boxed from there (after I move to another country - going to happen pretty soon) or will I be stuck with the downloadable versions only?

Thanks!

You sure about this? I see Operator 8 only listed under the Suite section. I hope you're right and I'm wrong, but I'm a bit worried I'll have to fork out some more cash just to upgrade Operator.

Thought I saw Robert say that somewhere. Can't find it now, too many threads to wade through. But that's the way it's always worked in the past as well (admittedly, this is the biggest upgrade I've seen to an instrument).

Any chance of getting info on the EDU upgrade prices?
Also if you bought Live7 and the instruments separately, does that mean you actually have the whole suite and can upgrade the suite from 7 to 8 or do you need to upgrade each (Live + instruments) separately?

Live8 seems awesome, but
Errrh, didn't the Live price dropped a bit while the upgrade price has gone up ?
Am I wrong or isn't it kinda weird ?

Cheers, you mean this:

Yeah, again we're second-guessing everything here, but that could be taken to mean just backwards compatibility and nothing to do with pricing. I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Yeah, that might have been it. Slightly out of context without seeing what he's replying to. But he does say "new operator" and "offers more". Also seems pretty damn pleased with himself, so I take that to mean it's good news. Either that or he's been hitting the champers. Or both.
