I’m trying to download the Halion Sonic 2 (grace period from vst Absolute, purchase date June 3) but I can not get the download link. I did what I was supposed to had to do, start the eLicenser and run maintenance. It has changed my license DL to DL+ but I have not gone the window where to place the serial number USBLicenser.
I have gone to the website of the grace period, I entered the serial number and tells me USBLicenser is NOT in grace period.
I do not understand anything I’m doing wrong?
I bought and activated the Absolute VST Collection on 4 July. In fact, my license ALREADY says “Absolute VSTi Collection DL +”. That is why I think the “Grace Period” checker says we are not eligible… Because we already have the license. So, I submitted a support ticket to get a download link.
This is the response I received.
“A Grace Period offer is not available for the Absolute VSTi Collection. You can purchase the Absolute VSTi Collection to HALion Sonic 2 upgrade for $99.99 from our online shop…”
I was really hoping to try it out tonight. I sent a reply to support. Maybe tomorrow…

EDIT: Here is another reference to the Grace Period update…
Absolute+
With the release of the HALion Sonic 2, the Absolute VST Instrument Collection gets an extra “+” in the form of a free update to HALion Sonic 2. All customers who have purchased Absolute after May 15, 2013, are eligible for a free Grace Period Update to HALion Sonic 2.
The grace period for Absolute customers is now working probably. Please try again to enter your eLc number and you will receive the HALion Sonic 2 update installer.
For anyone having trouble, if you ALREADY have the “+” on your license for Absolute VSTi Collection, step one in the Grace Period instructions is unnecessary. Performing the Maintenance will not trigger the Grace Period website pop-up. Just go here…
I too have a + sign on my license for the Absolute VST Collection but when I click on the Update to Sonic 2 Link (Mac) from the Grace Period page, I get a 404 Error page. please help!
Yes, that was the first thing I tried. Also tried updating ‘Maintenance’ several times, and using the link you provided a couple of hours later with no result. The error 404 page keeps coming up.
Thank you for your reply. After keying in my eLc number, i get the page with the links to download either the Windows or Mac Sonic 2 update. But when I click on either of the links, I get this page with this address:
