I heard you can buy Dorico 5 Pro for $150 if you are a Finale user. How do I do that?

Title says it all. How do I buy Dorico Pro 5 for $150? I have used Finale for years. Do I need to demonstrate somehow that I’ve been using Finale so long?
I’ve downloaded and tried Dorico 5 in its trial version, I understand that’s the same as the full-time Dorico Pro 5? Except that it won’t drop dead on me after 60 days?

In Australia, you can upgrade from an earlier version for $154. The crossgrade price is $460.

*This is on the Steinberg website

at the bottom, “log into your MakeMusic account”…
Presumably the offer is still there. Tech support at MakeMusic is available, they can help otherwise.

Edit: I have just logged in to my MM account and could not see anything. If you cannot either, then there are a few “Contact us” and similar Tech support options on the MM website, including inside your account area; they can then see your Finale purchase and advise.
Otherwise if things have changed, perhaps with Steinberg continuing the offer somehow, I would think one of the team would answer this thread for you with details, but the offer was offered by MM themselves, not Steinberg.

This link should take you to MakeMusic’s store, where you can buy the crossgrade.

Yes: it’s the same program. When you buy it, you won’t need to reinstall, just sort out the licensing.

A much better answer than I gave, thanks Ben

Bingo. Just went there (your link to the MakeMusic site) and purchased the full version for $149.

“Houston, the Eagle has landed.”

Thanks everybody!

Glad you have it purchased :slight_smile:
I checked the link at the bottom of the MM page I referenced, and it goes to the Buy now page as Ben indicated, so it is good their page is still current. (Mentioning this for anyone else coming upon this page).
Thank you for updating us @little-acorn
Glad Dorico is functioning well enough for your purposes to purchase, we are all hoping for exciting new features in v6 (and 7 … 8 )
