I have windows xp, will the software work? and Do I need to pay more money to activate the software?

The software should work just fine, but it's not technically supported. That is, if you have problems, NI may not be overly helpful if you need to call them.And no, all the included software is standalone and comes with licenses. It's actually a pretty great deal for what it is.

Pretty sure that maschine works for windows/mac as long as your software is updated.

Maschine will run on XP with service pack 3, but Native Instruments will only provide support for Windows 7. There is no additional cost for activating the software.

I'm pretty sure you can, I use windows 7 and it works fine. There are 32bit and 64bit versions of the software. My suggestion is reading the product info on NI's website.

Just echoing the replies already given (moral support I guess). XP has not been officially supported since version 1.7 of the Maschine software (currently 1.8.2), but many people seem to be running on it just fine. There are some threads about this on the NI forums as well, for instance: http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176281 There is no fee for using or updating the software. All NI products use an application called the Service Center, which is a very slick, fast, unobtrusive license and update manager which handles that for you. Moving between PCs is or adding a secondary install is trivial (just run it on the other system), should you decide to upgrade.

The program you download is used on windows and mac. If you have those then it should

I am not sure if it will work. But you might try to download the software off the Internet and see if it will run on your computer.

yes when I repair software it has to be the original software compatible to the system board. a lot of people do pirated need to be careful it may show activated but not necessarily be acceptable by Microsoft. if you more information look me up on Facebook.com/vipcomputerrepairs

Yes have Windows 7 64-bit and I could not activate it. It took a month, they sent me copy that required no activaction. So I'm not sure if it's the same copy I paid or not it's rather simple. I've had friends try to activate with no luck

Yes,, I downloaded the trial then bought the software on amazon and when the CD arrived entered the product key / serial number from the CD and it all worked fine. Hope that helps

I figured out that you have to make sure that you are purchasing the software from Amazon, and not from another seller. Then, it will work fine.

I've only used it with Win7 and Vista, but there's nothing that jumped out at me that suggested it shouldn't work with XP. It should be noted though that it's slow and barely functional on all versions of Windows - it's just poorly written software period.

It is on the computer as a trial version (60 days). You need to purchase a "Product Key" from Microsoft or another vendor in order to activate the program.

No, it works on XP and earlier. Won't even do Vista!!! (Plus it comes from China so waiting will kill you) Save your time/money - there are better solutions. I ended up getting a used Lexicon for $20. I am very happy with it.

It works just fine with XP. The hardware is well-supported. It is the software you want to be concerned about.
1162332
Yes it comes with software you have to load onto your computer. Otherwise it won't work.

I believe it works better on XP than windows 7. I would contact cyber link tech support to make sure.

It worked for me. But was a bit of a pain to get it to work. Had to install a few times... Just make sure you have enough space on your computer to run the programs. And I ran a virus check on my comp before installing, to be safe. But it works beautifully for me now! Couldn't be happier! :) Don't bother asking the Microsoft people at the store to help either. They were useless. She googled my question. (Like I hadn't done that at home first) Idiots.

Yes. It basically replaces your mouse so if will work with all programs. The drivers should be compatible with XP.

You can download the software from ccrane.com. Yes, it works on my mom's XP
