This isn't X5, it's X4...the old version, and Magix doesn't offer "automatic upgrades" at all. You have to buy within their time frame to get the free upgrade...just FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie Foster Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hmm. Didn't they have the free upgrade at the beginning of the month? I have to tell you, Magix makes no sense. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...there was like a 2 week window, but with Magix, once that window closes, it's over... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fwrend Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Yes, I would do due diligence before purchasing. While I like and had no issues with X3 & X4, I was not going to upgrade to X5 especially for $199! I then realized I could upgrade to X5 Suite Educational for $99 which I thought reasonable. However, I have not been able to even try X5 because I now get a Copyprotection error - "cannot write unlock code to HD." I've been working with support for 6 weeks trying to rectify the issue to no avail. I am currently trying to get a refund. I am just weary from dealing with Magix and cannot justify the effort any longer. I'll continue to use Vegas Pro & X4 when needed but will NOT be upgrading either save the occasional Humble Bundle deals but even then, I have my doubts. YMMV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hmm $149 for spectralayers is a good deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I wonder if I get spectralayers and don't register it until 7 comes out, could get 7 for free. Other Steinberg stuff works that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange pricing of Magix. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promidi Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 This looks like it's actually Spectralayers Pro 6 for $US149 and it comes with a free copy of Samplitude X4 Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is less than I paid for Spectralayers Pro 6 by itself, I have to warn you I've been very disappointed in Spectralyers Pro 6. I'd say even with this offer it is overpriced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
