I feel like the manner in which the licenses are packaged has screwed a lot of people.
All this has told me is that i should avoid bundles that tie everything to one license, instead of simply depositing all discrete licenses into your account.
That is something iLok has always gotten right, as well as soft licensing mechanisms from the likes of Arturia and Native Instruments.
Absolute doesn’t work this way, so everyone who has Absolute 5 but isn’t interested in HALion 7 has their licenses held hostage to the dongle - waiting on HALion 7.
Really quite a RAW deal, cause these people will be forced to pay while those who owned separate licenses could just voucher out.
I upgraded to A5 for Backbone, but i wish i had stayed on A4 and bought Backbone on its own. Effectively, I’ve likely wasted money doing it the way that I have.
