Hi,
I’m wondering if owning Cubase qualifies for the crossgrade price with Absolute 5.
It states that ownership of Retrologue / Padshop qualifies you but no mention of Cubase and I just want to confirm before purchasing.
Thanks!
No. You have a Cubase license, the crossgrade is for people who purchased Retrologue 2 or Padshop 2 separately.
Seems bizarre given that a Cubase license comes with both Retrologue and Padshop, yet you’re still asked to pay full price for Absolute despite already owning some of the products included.
Unfortunate business policy.

Ugh, agree, really annoying and confusing. Steinberg please fix your upgrade paths and procedure, take example from other companies. Picking out upgrades a la carte as it is currently, is very frustrating to say the least.
If someone buys a license that includes multiple products (Cubase, Padshop 2, etc), it’s with the intention of “owning” those products. Why would someone buy Padshop 2 again if they already bought it as part of a “bundle”?
I think the upgrade path is deceitful (confusing at minimum) in current form.
