Hello!
Just wondering will the boxed version come for Cubase 7 to 8.5 upgrade?, I have always bought the boxed version of Cubase and feel that my collection is destroyed if I start to buy as digital, Hope it will come later on or else im gonna 
Hi,
Iâm sorry, there is no boxed version for any upgrade/update since Cubase 7.5 or Cubase 8 (I donât remember).
Like manuals (as I stare longingly at my Cubase 5 manual on the shelf) they are alas a thing of the past.
Depending on where youâre located, some shops (including online shops) appear to have retail âboxesâ that are called upgrades, but only contain the activation code on a printed card and a DVD that is usually already out-of-date by the time you get it.
Since the printed manuals disappeared, thereâs probably not much point in having a proper boxed version of anything, unless you live somewhere without a fast internet connection.
This is sad news for me thx for the answers
The printed manual used to add around ÂŁ50 to the price of the boxed version and personally i prefer PDFs anyway, ctrl+f is much quicker than thumbing through a weighty tome any day⌠if you REALLY want a printed version why not print it out yourself or find a local printer that will print and bind a copy for youâŚ
