Hi, I currently own both Halion 5 and Groove Agent 4, which appear to be the main products in Absolute 2. Does anyone know if there is a way to upgrade to Absolute 2 if you own this? i.e. is there a discount? Cheers

It is disappointing this can’t be like waves, where you can get discounts based on the products you already own. I was thinking about buying groove agent, but I’m not going to buy it now that they’ve released Absolute 2 and i already have Halion 5.

I’m wondering about this too … I’ve paid a lot more over the years for the individual items, but still don’t have all of them, and would be interested in some kind of discount offer. Makes me feel like my investment has lost its value … :cry: This, combined with the fact that iC Pro for Android w…

I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking this! Any chance of a response from Steinberg?? I assume you read these forums…

A pretty important question in my mind: If one gets the Absolute 2 package, do they all share a common key, or does each plugin get its own? With the Absolute 2 package, could I get a second USB key and split the licenses across different machines? I.E. run Halion 5 on a second machine acting as…

I don’t believe so. I have the Absolute (1) package and it is a single license. I am speculating, however…

I don’t think the eLicenser database had to be updated for this. I’m assuming they give you a single license code that grants separate licenses for each VST this time, instead of a single one like Absolute 1 did.

Hi all, There are currently no upgrade paths from HALion or any other VST instrument to Absolute 2 available. We have been discussing this issue intensively, but unfortunately it is just not possible to offer upgrades for all kind of products and combinations. I understand that there are customers …

Hi Matthias, unfortunately, you are correct and i do “feel excluded by Steinberg right now” and believe this to be a pretty poor attitude to have towards paying customers who have already been loyal, in some cases, for years… Why is it not possible to offer upgrades? You make the statement, yet th…

I understand what Matthias has said to mean “we couldn’t be bothered trying to figure that out”.

Seriously. It’s actually counter-productive. Why is SB driving away customers? :unamused:

Upgrade to Absolute 2 from Halion + Groove Agent?
