Live 8 Upgrade
Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 4:45 pm
Does anyone know if the upgrade to the Live 8 boxed version will include the EIC2?
I have the download version of Live 7. When I upgraded to Live 7, the boxed version did not contain the EIC2. I am curious if that will be the same with the upgrade to Live 8.arkoenig wrote:Why would it? If you have Live 7 Suite, you already have EIC2.
You need to purchase the suite boxed, not just Live in order to get EIC.GrooveNinja wrote:I have the download version of Live 7. When I upgraded to Live 7, the boxed version did not contain the EIC2.

Yes, that is correct. They started that sometime around last February or March, I think. If you upgraded to the boxed version, you did not get EIC2. I was hoping that they would change that for Live 8 upgrade.andydes wrote:I think the files came with the box, but you had to pay extra for the license. The box and manual could be had for about 30 quid, but the EIC was significantly more. Right?
That is what I want to know.ambien wrote:What is the difference between Live 8 download and Live 8 boxed (except for the price)? In my upgrade options from Live 7 boxed there are none. So I pay about 30 euro only for the box?
EIC has never been available as part of any downloadable version of Live. It as has always been part of the boxed suite only.GrooveNinja wrote:That is what I want to know.ambien wrote:What is the difference between Live 8 download and Live 8 boxed (except for the price)?

It will contain the most up to date version of the EIC. As far as I can tell from what I've read there have been no changes to EIC between 7 and 8.ambien wrote:Yes I know. But does Live 8 boxed contains a EIC 3?
Now I'm getting confused. What did they start in Feb. or March? EIC has always been only available as part of the boxed suite only. Am I wrong?GrooveNinja wrote:Yes, that is correct.

Maybe, or I could be confused. At the beginning of last year, I thought that the Live 7 boxed upgrade came with EIC2. It said so on the web site. But then, around Frebruary or March, they changed the web site to explicitly say that it did not come with any of the boxed upgrades. Now, I see that Live 8 Suite boxed upgrade comes with EIC2, so I was hoping that the regular, non-suite boxed upgrade did too.rbro wrote:Now I'm getting confused.
