Ok, so I pre-ordered an upgrade to 6 from 4 last week and I’ve been using my old 4 while I wait for 6 to arrive. Anybody knows when they’re expecting more boxes or if there’s a downloadable version of the upgrade?
I’m working under the assumption that the upgrade version requires me to use my old dongle from 4 to be able to use 6 (please correct me if I’m wrong). So wouldn’t a download version of the upgrade be a reasonable expectation?
I did call asknet in the US and kept getting put on hold. After 45 minutes I just gave up.
A Cubase upDATE is when only the number changes. Examples: C5->C5.5, or C5->C6 .
Major number changes are always boxed (C5->C6), in-between updates are always downloadable (C5->C5.5)
A Cubase upGRADE is when you get a version with more features. Examples: C5 Studio → C5 Full, C5 Studio → C6 Full , C6 Artist->C6 Full.
Most of these are boxed, according to the Steinberg online shop the only downloadable upgrade is C6 Artist-> C6 Full. But that may be different in your country.
