  1. I believe it's just about what you have in your account. If you still have a version of K Standard you remain eligible to update along the Standard path. If you still have a version of K Ultimate you remain eligible to update along the Ultimate path. So you're not dropping down to K Standard 14 - you're just updating your K Standard 10 to K Standard 14. Likewise in the future you wouldn't have to climb back up - you would just be updating your K Ultimate 13 to K Ultimate 15.

    Magic Connect (whatever they call it now) can be deflected before downloading the installers. So, you're wrong... just look 😉

    It's definitely opt in, and can be easily uninstalled; even if you fail to pay attention to what you tell it to download. 

    I meant to reply to this particularly obnoxious post, but I thought I should wait until Sound Forge Pro was available from Humble Bundle again before necroing.

    I am very careful about what I opt into when downloading and installing software, and I can assure you, whatever it was that contained Connect, I was absolutely not given the option of avoiding it.

    On the other hand I don’t doubt that you were given the chance to opt out as you say, and the impression I have picked up over the last few years is that the installers available from Humble Bundle are not the same as those available directly from MAGIX.

    I can’t confirm specific details of the discrepancies, but I think this is what’s behind our differing experiences... In fact I have just gone to Humble Bundle and downloaded the VEGAS Pro 14 Edit installer (the only one available on the page) and I notice that the filename is “VEGAS_Pro_14_Edit_DLM_Etailer_Connect”.

    So there you have it. I guess I should have paid more attention to the filenames in the first place, but I wouldn’t have known what “Connect” was before installing everything and seeing it pop up all the time.

    I recommend getting all installers directly from MAGIX.

    Definitely not a stupid question - I didn’t even know there were multiple versions as native access keeps itself updated. I’ll look into this - thanks! 👍

    Yeah you need to use “Native Access 2” for the more recent releases (technically v3 I believe). NA 1 updates itself but doesn’t prompt for an update to NA 2. Some of us are clinging on to NA 1 for dear life on account of subjective usability stuff. NA 1 and 2 can coexist on Mac, whereas on PC NA 2 overwrites 1. Get the latest download from here and it will be NA 2:

    I purchased this yesterday - but it's still not showing in Native Access as a product. I even registered the serial number manually (something the instructions said was unnecessary). 

     

    And their support ticket system keeps locking up when I try to create a ticket...

     

    Something ain't right over there.

    Sorry if stupid question but did you use NA v2?
