I got it too. I went with that light GUI. Not sure what to do with that Acid Planet code either. Of course this is another example of lazy development when it comes to downloader installers. No preferences.
Same here but that was a different type of deal. Basically if you buy them from 3rd vendors you lose that 20% on your bundles. Usually on the weekly 50% off you can save a buck or two getting it from another vendor. Eventually I have my eye on the everything bundle. That deal from APD was sweet. That is not the first time they had a special on Melda.
I can get everything for 454 euros. Always buy direct. How the upgrade prices are computed: we subtract 70% of what you have spent so far for the products included in the upgrade. We cannot know the actual price when you purchase from a reseller, so we assume 50% off, hence it is advantageous to purchase from us directly if you plan to upgrade.
That's why Waves goes to the back of the line. With their reduce prices a duplicate license is affordable. Besides who wants to use up another USB port?
I'm tempted to go $79 in debt for Acid Pro 9 but I'm losing my taste for anything from Magix. They are another company with too many updates without fixing previous versions. (like Cakewalk after Sonar 3).
I still have AP 7 and a 32 bit DAW environment is still pretty stable. I can use those 32 bit plugins installed by default.
I think it would be a tough job. You have to be knowledgeable on every new product that comes in. I wonder how many of them have a certain bias towards products. If you ever read some of the sales engineer's backgrounds they do know their stuff. Sometimes these jobs aren't as glamorous as we think. They don't do discounts very much but they are top notch in service after the sale.

or pass and go with Melda 50% off, no machine limit, lifetime updates, better installation process
This is tempting for me but with Waves I have to buy a duplicate license, and way too many plugins.

My guess is those that thought so had never experienced enough decades of music. Maybe it's because it was not a one hit wonder band. The must have missed Disco when just about every mainstream artist made a contribution to that genre. Disco Duck was one of the worst things I've heard. In the 80's music become more visual and changed whether a song was great.
So the regret is not buying their subscription because they decided to end it and gave the subscribers their licenses with no additional payments. Who would ever buy a sub thinking long term like that? How many developers would do this?
