    $10 is the correct price for the upgrade.

    Boz Digital Labs Support

    I also like Boz and had figured the 10$ was reasonable enough.  I have V1 and a bunch of other plugins.

    But I checked since others apparently got it for free.

    But eventually you will be limited to applications that only run on the older platform. It is what it is!!! Progress!!!

    My favourite drawing package, that I still use regularly, is/was Micrografx Designer (and the rest of the Suite, including a 3d modeller).  I purchased it sometime before 1991.  I still haven't found a replacement that does as much, is as easy use, and is affordable.

    I used it in XP Mode under Windows 7 and then, when I just this year moved to Windows 10, thought I'd lost it forever.  I actually went about setting up a nested virtual machine to run XP Mode inside Windows 7 inside VMware but at one point discovered that my problem was only the fact that Designer was 32 bit.  Installing my Windows 7 as 32 bit in VMware solved everything and I can continue to use my beloved drawing software for more years to come.

    So old software doesn't have to die, if you're lucky...

  3. Big banner on Boz site says an additional 10% off  the 17.10$ (1.71$) if you buy before 4/19.

    I didn't get the 10% and have contacted the company.

    (I know it's not much, but still...)

    EDIT:  

    The reply, for what it's worth, is that the 17.10$ was arrived at from an initial sale price of 19$ minus the 10% to get to 17.10$.
    A  bit misleading since there is no mention of 19$ anywhere...

    This is all trivial, but the identical prices between Audio Deluxe and Boz (15,39) justified for me getting it straight from Boz.

    17.10$ - 10% = 15.39$

    Personally, I don't really get the rounded corners thing... like, my screen is rectangular...

    At the other end of the spectrum, rounded corners is the  #1 reason I'm still on Win7.

    My eyes have always found those pointy corners on windows and menus aggressive.

    And overall the square look lacks elegance.

    (but then I'm 3/4 scandinavian brought up on danish curves)

    At any rate, so far the policy has been to give upgrade pricing for any prior version of software, which you will probably feel is unfair if you are just one version behind, but if it holds, it is a good argument for skipping a version or two unless you need some new feature to function.

    This policy is what's keeping me from upgrading.  I've normally waited for the 50% off sale to upgrade (and regularly).  But if there's no penalty in waiting for a few versions to go by, why spend money now.  SO4 does everthing I need.

    I got it..they have started putting multiple serial #'s under the same product in your account.
    The new serial # says "NFR" before the serial #

    Not in my account.  I got entropy free when I  bought Union in June 2020.

    After buying this time around with your code, everything went properly, but I only have one serial number for entropy in my account (no "NFR" to be found).

     

  7. If you're still on Win 7 like I am, you may get a a WinHttp.WinWttpRequest error when you enter your license key for validation during install.

    Issue is regarding TLS security protocol.

    Just follow the instructions nicely presented in 2B's FAQ.

    Quite a bit of bother for a free plugin, but it did work.

    More Waves freebies, this time from ModeAudio. This one expires on October 11th (but it's yours to keep if you register before then).

    Source: https://modeaudio.com/magazine/modeaudio-x-waves-exploring-oneknob-phatter#.X3rB8WgzZhE

     

    I didn't have to register anything.   Just followed the links to waves and it appeared in my waves account.

    Useless for the moment, though, since waves now refuses to activate plugins on windows 7.

    EDIT : Apparently Waves can send me a special version of Waves Central to solve this.  Waiting for their reply....

    EDIT 2 :  Got the special version and all my waves plugins (v11) are now activated on window 7.

    You will see a link to buy Windows 10 Home, click on it and then click "Buy Now", you will then be given a choice to continue buying W10 Home or to buy the "upgrade" to W10 Pro for 34.99 USD. Select to upgrade to W10 Pro, continue the buying process, and that's it; you now have a full retail version of Windows 10 PRO for 34.99USD or ~49 $ Canadian Dollars (That's what PayPal charged me). That's ~ 20$ CAD saving compared to what ClerverBridge is charging by default.

    Thanks Chuck for this !   But I got even better !!

    I did what you said, but when I went to the W10 Home page and upgraded to PRO, it remained in $CAD and showed 40,91 $CAD + 4,08$ taxe (QC).

    So total, paying in $CAD on cleverbridge (and not $US like I did for my first copy) was 44.99 $CAD.

    Now my laptop will be 'official' as well.
