EastWest Hollywood Orchestra / Fantasy Orchestra + Forbidden Planet

I know I'm biased because EW named their browser after my avatar, but these are Uncle E's words (From JRRShop, via KVR), not mine:

DEALIO! O! O!

[TheSteven]

Smoking deal on Hollywood Fantasy...

[Fleer]

And that Forbidden Planet is a wonderful addition.

Has anyone gone for this deal yet?   I got the license for Fantasy Orchestra, but nothing on the Forbidden Planet.

"Register your Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra license code at https://www.eastwestsounds.com/register/ between November 26 and November 30, 2023, and get a Free license for Forbidden Planet deposited into your iLok account!"

Did you register it at EW?

I sprang (sprung? springeded?) for HOOPUS at JRR, and Forbidden Planet showed up in the EW Installation Manager with the orchestral bits, once I'd registered on the East West site.

I did.  Fantasy Orchestra showed up, but not Forbidden Planet.

[trager]

Are they offering Forbidden Planet with upgrades to HOOPUS?

[husker]

FYI I had to email EastWest - something odd happened in my transaction, and they had to deposit the Forbidden Planet into my account manually.

[Kirean]

Dammit. That's a great deal.

Unfortunately I bought HOOPUS last year (no regrets) and Fantasy Orchestra still has a bit too spicy of a price after all the other purchases.

Don't use the EW Installation Center to activate your code, only the web site activation gives you your Forbidden Panet!
If you use the EWIC to activate your code you'll have to go through support and supply them with your iLok to get FP added to your account.

I definitely used the web site for activation, just something went wonky.

It is a great deal - I was planning on Fantasy Orchestra this Christmas, so a free Forbidden Planet is great.

I used the EWIC and had to contact support but a couple of emails back & forth and it was fixed! Under an hour in all, and only that long because I was working on other stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised how quickly they resolved it for me as well.  Kudos to Eastwest.

Indeed. Sent them a ticket and found everything at my account the day after. This was one you couldn't miss. Now I need xtra storage 

[Rational]

Agreed. Don't want to miss this one. I'm getting it for sure. I had my eye on hollywood orchestra back in the day and never went for it.

But with the recent gui updates and all plus the bonus it's an easy decision.

And it’s got a perfect player now, with the Orchestrator and all. No brainer.

I have to think how blessed we are these days.  $300 for something that would have costs thousands several years ago.
