How to reverse the un-love of WUP in 2 steps: Eliminate WUP in the way that is most assured to piss people off Go back and allow WUP again

https://www.martinic.com/aisynth The 50% off discount code for AX73 will be delivered by email and will expire March 31, 2023. Here is the AX73 page https://www.martinic.com/en/products/ax73-plus

Waves.com is unresponsive. Is it incompetence and a botched website update? Is it being hacked by someone annoyed at what they did? Is it a mass influx of people rushing to get the trial version of the subscriptions? Is it a mass influx of people downloading legacy stuff in case it disappears?

Or... from Magix for $29.99 for the latest version (2023) instead of last year's https://www.magix.com/us/music-editing/music-maker/ (Available until April 2, 2023)

The key question is - how big is the "Hobbyist market". Yes, in this forum it is big but seriously, let's get our heads outside the few websites and forums we frequent and ask again - how big is the market? It used to be the case that as a company you wanted to reach the hobbyist market because of their future influence on decision makers, but the young audio engineers of today have grown up subscribing to "services" like creative cloud, the various access service to college books, xbox, spotify, netflix. YES, I do get that netflix is different because I don't have "netflix projects" that may need to be revisited in the future but I'll I lose access to if I cancel. My point is that being used to subscriptions for whatever you do in your leisure time does lower the resistance to the idea of more subscriptions. And, let's be clear, if you're a kid who wants waves for mixing the music for your band, it's probably easier to convince your dad to pay for your $24 a month subscription than it is to get him to buy you a Mercury license. Look at the video, it's all young people, they're the target. The percentage of us who will subscribe is probably in the single-digit range. My guess is that killing the current hobbyist market is no big loss (for Waves)

So, is this a slow kill for license transfers? You cannot transfer a product if it is out of WUP, you cannot renew WUP. Once it expires (or if it has expired already), forget about transfers

In case anybody else is thinking about asking: I emailed Waves and they politely refused to say if the 3/26 changes will result in any changes to WUP > Will WUP renewals continue to be the same after the changes in the registration system on 3/26? We do not have information to provide on upcoming promotions or changes. Keep an eye on the Waves newsletter and Waves.com for announcements, promotions and other Waves related news.

What sounds strange in all of this - Why isn't every Waves dealer liquidating their stock of license keys? Speculation: Could it be that most dealers generate keys when they sell them but Best Service instead accumulated keys when they were on sale and resold them afterwards? Is Waves now "fighting" this practice?

FYI directory links is also a good alternative. Here are details on how to use them

Some notes... Samplitude Pro latest version is X7 Vegas Pro latest version is 20 MusicMaker latest version is 2023 Sound Forge Audio Studio latest version is 16 The Producer Planet keys are for the non-commercial version of the soundpool I'm not saying it's a bad deal, but just be aware of what you are getting, 2 versions behind in most cases, and get ready to be reminded frequently that there is a newer version available. Note that there are add-ons that may make the deal more interesting, e.g., with Samplitude X5 you get Convology XT Complete and the CoreFx suite.

I got it and I like the approach of "planes" (compared to the "focus" in e.g., Neutron, to compare MM to another mixing system with "learning", but note that Neutron has other strengths, I'm referring specifically to mix levels). This video may help you understand what it can do and what's the workflow when using it

Yes, it's getting increasingly challenging to use the vouchers What would you do with a $75?

Reminder: In past occasions iZotope upgrades have been full licences, with no restrictions on reselling prior versions, The prices you're joking about may sound completely different once you factor that in. E.g., asking prices for MPS4 in knobcloud are $250, in theory you could upgrade MPS4 to 5.2 for $149, then get back $250 (this is where the "in theory" part can fail, you may need to sell it cheaper) and not only get guitar rig but also make some money while doing it

?

Probably the ones subject to the corresponding local law are the distributors. If you got the code from a distributor in the US or Europe you may be able to get a refund from them when the code no longer works. If you got the code as a promotion from Waves.com it should be Israeli law that applies (otherwise international e-commerce would be a nightmare of legal requirements)

Ah, bummer! The original message didn't have an expiration other than "the month" but yes, I found an email saying that they expired on the 24th.

If anyone would need a $75 voucher (min purchase $99) to sweeten their purchase just ping me... (this should be stackable E.g., 2 plugins on sale for $34.99 plus one eligible for the any-2999, $99.97 minus $75, total 3 plugins for $24.97)

@kitekrazy If you liked these, you may be interested the New Nation Unlimited MIDI Bundle at APD https://audioplugin.deals/product/unlimited-midi-bundle-by-new-nation/

Note that the $5 coupon code APD-NWVBBYY9-5-OFF that was posted earlier by Leok85 can still be used in addition to the current promotion (although I got a message noting that the minimum purchase is $50). E.g., Note as well that the Unlimited MIDI Bundle comes with $125 in vouchers (Look in the "bonus" folder for each of the 5 midi collections, each has a $25 voucher, no minimum purchase necessary but there are restrictions on what's eligible, e.g., not applicable to discounted bundles) Additionally, since getting Ghosthack UPB2021 from APD doesn't give you the product directly (it gives a voucher that you then use to buy at Ghosthack's website), the purchase qualifies for the current "Buy One, get one 50% off" promotion, and e.g., you can get UPB2022 for $40, a good deal if you are interested in these kinds of libraries

Thank you @msmcleod for the info! I'm using the latest Firefox but it could be something else in my Firefox configuration and/or extensions (Noscript, Chameleon, disconnect.me, etc) If possible, please add this to the wishlist, for devs to take a look and add it if it's reasonably easy.

In my PC I have configured Firefox as the default browser. When I launch CbB it tries to log in (oauth) and fails with Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:4342 If I change the system default browser to Edge and re-launch CbB it works ok It is a pain that whenever I want to use CbB I need to start tweaking with the system settings and then change them back. Is there a configuration option in CbB for selecting which browser it will use for oauth (instead of the system default)?

They claim that because of an upcoming update to their registration system, codes issued before March 26 2023 will no longer work afterwards. The information was sent by email and discussed in other posts in this forum. Infuriating, illegal, and many other negative adjectives, but you probably don't want to risk it. If you buy it you'll be better off not hoarding the registration code.
