All Custom Shop purchases are NFR, doesn't matter how you pay.  Just how it works.

Only purchases with Gear Credits.  Purchases with Cash are not NFR...

You can of course use cash in the web store and get a version that you can transfer, but if you buy it in the custom shop it's NFR no matter how you pay.  I think.  It's hard to say for sure sometimes with IK.

Right....if you use Paypal/Credit then what you purchase is NOT NFR...

ONLY purchases using Gear Credits are NFR...that's why if you purchase with 
Cash/Credit it leaves the Custom Shop and goes to the IK website...

That message is ONLY for purchases made with Gear Credits

Are my Custom Shop purchases transferable to other Users?

The Custom Shop purchases that are transferable include purchased AmpliTube/T-Racks Collections and individual T-Racks CS models purchased with credit card or PayPal, as they provide product serial numbers.

If you purchase T-Racks CS models using gear credits, they are not transferable to another user.

If you purchase any a-la-carte AmpliTube gear models, they are not transferable to another user.

If you purchase any SampleTank 3 or 4 libraries from the Custom Shop, they are not transferable to another user.

So I guess if you buy collections with a credit card you can transfer them but the a-la-carte stuff can't be transferred no matter what.

And yes, many of these IK sales polices are kind of crazy.  Losing jam points when you transfer a product.  Lots of NFR rules.  Expiring downloads.  etc.  It does seem kind of endless and filled with gotchas.

It isn't split data/main program files but as with any IK installation you can choose the main installation path so you can choose your secondary drive for that.  Then, as usual, you can specify your plugin paths after that too.  The requirements on the Specs page state 3GB just for the basic info.

So basically in programme install we choose in fact where the 3gb will be installed , and then the dll path after , right ?

nothing elsewhere (doc , appdata, ect ..)

So that 3gb includes the full new VIR pack for all cabs, regardless of which ones I own?

Ahaha i can see Peter be like   ....

[Peter - IK Multimedia]

No sweating.  AmpliTube 5 will be similar to AmpliTube 4's installation.  And other software.  You install AmplITube 5 with all it offers, unlocking what you have registered from within.  3GB isn't that big a footprint and you can control where that is installed.

[LAGinz]

Actually I agree that 3gb is not all that much. If anything, it surprises me that what is claimed for VIR, and for every Ampltube cab, could be only 3gb.

Will CS version be of the same size? Actually that would have to force me to do some long deferred cleaning on my tiny crowded SSD.

Yes.  You can unlock everything in CS so it is the same size.

We also posted a great "making of" video where the people who brought AmpliTube 5 to life talk about it and some great concepts around how it came to be and how some of the more nuanced features affect the sound:

Thought that was a pretty great video. I'm even more excited now.  Any idea how the CPU hit will be in AT5 compared to AT4?
