I’m new to the forum and have been using Artist 7 for a few weeks. I’ ve now got the chance for a free grace period update to 7.5. - great. I put in my eLicenser number, click on the link for the Win7 download (6.3Gb, ouch!) and wait. I’ve got a good connection (20Mb/s) so it should be about an hour to download the executable. Problem is, it fails after a few minutes at random points. I’ve tried 6 times with no luck. I haven’t had any recent problems with downloads in general from other sites. Anyone else had the same? Thank you. Barabob
Many thanks for your response. I have tried Chrome and IE. Any ideas? I’ve got a hardwired connection to my PC from my router so it’s not interference over wifi. The biggest download I’ve managed before it failed was 1.6Gb. Thank you. Barabob
I’m downloading from this page: http://www.steinberg.net/en/support/grace_period.html#input - the page where you enter your eLicense number. Are you sure you want me to try to use the links on the page you have pointed me towards as I note that these are for Cubase (not Artist), and one is an update and one the complete application. I don’t want to damage (if that’s the best term) my current installation of Artist 7.0. Also, once downloaded, would the installation even be successful as I have Artist - or are the downloads for 7.5 and Artist 7.5 basically the same - it’s the license that switches on/off functionality. Thank you. Barabob
Thanks Luis, glad I questioned it! Just downloading the update now. Should have a good chance that this will work as it’s 848Mb and not 6.3Gb. I guess the link on the grace period page was the complete application, not just an update. I’ll give you an update once I try it. Thanks for your help. Barabob
