It's cheaper to upgrade to Diamond than to get the WUP for the remaining ones

^^^ yes definitely check for upgrade prices before/if you decide to WUP.  It's often much much cheaper.

This is great advice! Never thought of doing this. Thanks!

@Pollux @simon so if I have the SSL bundle v12 and were to upgrade to Studio Classics (which includes the stuff in the SSL bundle), I would have v13 licenses for all of the products (including the v12 ones I had originally), right?

Does this make sense? I'm not fully awake yet lol

Should. But Windows 11 compatible?

I think it is marketing speak, unless Windows 11 broke the VST3 standard (which we would all be in deep trouble) it isn't like WAVES plugins are highly dependent on a specific version of the OS.   It is more like scare tatics to make us question if we need to upgrade for fear of incompatibilty.  

This isn't like MAC where "native" M1 upgrades are related to coding changes.

yes - of course your 'old SSL bundle' would be surrendered as part of the upgrade but as you say Studio Classics would give you them all back again as V13 with a years WUP thrown in.

Also make sure you get a price from everyplugin.com for anything Waves related.  Don't buy direct :)

There is an option to generate a 'code' to give  to the 'local dealer'

choose 'customize upgrade' and click the 'buying from your local dealer'  link

I still hope that one day they (Waves) dispose of their cumbersome shell (seems not in v13)! As long as they keep their plugins shellized I will stay Waves free (the handfull plugins that I have are almost never used)!

They have so many plugins I guess that works for them.

Until you get to where I am, after doing that for several version updates, my only upgrade option left is Mercury and that ain't happening.

According to Waves, on their Facebook, they "don't know" if other versions with with Windows 11. What a crock...

That's just typical of software development QA. They probably have a suite of tests that they have run for the latest version and haven't run for the older ones because

  • it takes resources  and effort
  • even if there are problems they won't fix older versions anyway

But, in practical terms: quite likely older versions are ok

Years ago I had a rag tag smattering of various Waves plugins from different $29 specials. At some point I inquired with Every Plug-in. He was able to put together a custom price that got me to Mercury at a price that made me jump. I would never have imagined previously that I’d get Mercury.

Waves has discovered that releasing new versions generates WUP purchases, so regardless of the real need we are now seeing (and will continue to see) version updates on a regular basis.
