How limiting is Live 9 Intro? Are you given the option to upgrade to the better versions or do you have to buy the next level software at full price?

Depends on your background and expectation of a DAW Intro can do a lot. You can load multisamples into simpler. So if you get a crazy synth pack from Puremagnetik you can load it in Intro and rock w/ it. If you have ever worked on a 4, 8, 16 track recorder, it can last you. It all depends on what you want to do w/ Live. If you want Sampler or more scenes then you can upgrade for less then full price. Here is a features list: https://www.ableton.com/en/live/feature-comparison/

It's the full product. Not an upgrade. But I would now recommend Sony Vegas Pro 13. The new version is much more stable for me and my rendering times have been cut in half. Many people may disagree, but I have found v.13 to be extremely good. Good luck.

At this price point that will never happen, sorry. It may have an intro version that you can buy a license for, but I instead loaded the free LibreOffice (and OpenOffice is almost as good).

I personally like it.. if you're a beginner is great but upgrade in the future

It made me completely uninstall the previous version of LE8 I had. Also, check your plug ins first. I not only had to buy the upgrade for pro tools itself, but I had to buy an upgrade of BFD3 drum software (from BFD2 since the BFD2 plug in isn't compatible with pro tools 11 that was $150) and I also had to buy an upgraded version of my WAVES plugin software to get it to work at all. Dont forget, you will also need an iLok2 to run protools 11. (I had ilok first gen, that was another $50)

No. You can install whatever version you purchase. Just make sure it's compatible with whatever OS youre running. But buying Avid MBox with PT 9, will get you an automatic upgrade to 9.6, then 10, plus free plug ins

The 70 buck version is upgrade only. Course, down the road when your system crashes and you have to reinstall I wonder if they expect you to dig up the original version, install it, then install the upgrade over it? Strange, but yeah, the $70 dollar version is for if you already have some other version installed, I think as early as XP will work fine.

Yes,l this was the full version, not an upgrade. This is now several versions old. You may want to look for version 4 or 5.

I believe any new registered user after Oct 2013 gets the new software for free through the native instruments website. As for it being packaged with the software, that's a tricky question. You would probably need to know when the hardware you are buying was manufactured. Either way you get the 2.0 software for free. If you are starting from scratch it's a pretty easy process.

If you can wait... then absolutely wait... till the next version comes out... I have purchased every version of elements and have noted that Adobe never patches their software.. they fix all the problems they find in the next version... Premiere 4 is buggy as all hell... read the comments it constantly crashes.. I suspect Premiere 7 will be far more stable otherwise why would they skip version 5 and 6 LOL. Photoshop elements 6 is far better than 5 but elements 4 was only slightly better than 3 (they added a poor quality UTUBE uploader that every one complained about and they never fixed). So you never know with Adobe the one thing for sure... if you want a more stable version of their software don't expect them to fix it for free... expect it in the next paid upgrade. The only thing you get when you click update is some new version of Adobe Acrobat reader... ??? Having said all that... these products are the best for their money in Windows environment.. hence the reason I keep upgrading with each version. Wish Final Cut would make it to the windows environment and give Adobe some real competition... by the way the new version of Adobe comes with the option of online back up of 20Gigs... come on Adobe.. with 10 meg cheap cameras that is no where near sufficient storage I have 50 gigs of photos alone not to mention my video files.

Good day Jemaul ! To be honest with you. It'd better if you take your time and find a cheap deal on the hardware, then get a "Student Edition" of the full software for cheap. Thatt's how I did it when I went into Pro Tools 10.

I am not completely sure whether the install links will lead you to the new versions or not. When I bought this bundle, Nectar 2 hadn't come out yet. But when it did the computer let me know that it was available and I was able to download/update it for free! So I would say buy with confidence that you will get the new versions, whether it will be in the first download or as an update. Either way, these programs are great and the Izotope costomer service is excellent. I am sure you will get what you are looking for in this product. :-)

I can't put my hands on my package for this but I researched this question about a year or so ago and my recollection is that you can actually run it legally on a small peer-to-peer network of 3 users. I have used this program for 25 years--including on networks. It is rock solid for what it is. Unfortunately for small time guys like me I think their successor is trying to take it to a higher level to compete with CRM systems which I'm sure it can do. However, they are pricing guys like me out of the market. The bad news is there probably won't be any support for this version going forward. The good news is you probably won't need it. I also wouldn't expect the folks who've sold out to come after you for license infractions but you never know.

Note: This is a single user copy of FileMaker, not a volume license...so it has no protection for new versions that come out. They would be purchased at full upgrade cost. http://cimbura.com/tech/2013/10/18/filemaker-licensing-made-easy/

EZ Drummer 2 just came out recently, and Windows XP is a legacy product, these new plugins are pretty hefty, so I would seriously think about getting yourself a newer system with a Quad Core processor or you could be looking at serious underun....(pops & clicks) I own Superior 2.0 and it is very demanding!

NO, you need to install additional Hardware and Software to use it. It is just the barebones, you need to add the other layers to bring it Live!
