Quick question about live 6 upgrade

Post by henrico81 » Tue Oct 17, 2006 7:43 pm

Hi,

I've had a search and can't find the info: If I buy live 5 this month and get the free upgrade, say I need to reinstall windows next year, will the live 6 update still be available or is it only until 31st October?

Thanks,
Henrico

-Buy Live 5
-Download upgrade to live 6 (does not upgrade 5 per se, it's actually the entire Live 6 application)
-Burn Live 6 download and your serial number to a CDR if you want (although once you get the serial, you'll always be able to dl the latest rev of Live 6)

The last version of Live should always be available for download, just hang on to your serial numbers (which should show up in your user account anyway). I believe the upgrade sale is available until the 31st, after that the upgrade becomes more expensive.

Stop thinking - get it now!

Cheers,

Maybe first downloading the online version and ordering the boxed version an idea?

I'll just add, do you have a copy of live lite? Do the upgrade online, you'll save some cash and get in from the get-go.

If you need the boxed version, it might be awhile since it very new.

I had a look and I could only find Live 6 as a download... (more expensive)

I wanted to get Live 5 not 6, 6 is £100 more.
