Resolume upgrade question

Post by Kadete »

Hello everyone

I have Resolume Avenue 4 i'm thinking to upgrade to the new Arena 5.
My question is about to buy for 2 or 3 pcs. The others pcs require the previous Avenue 4 key?

Hope for a response before November :D
Regards

Upgraded PCs don't require the Avenue 4 key.

Nah i guess you are on the wrong way.

If you upgrade you Arena 4 licence then you will get 1 new license ( arena 5) and you wont be able to use your old license as well.

its an upgrade and not a new license..

Good guess, but wrong.

It all depends on what you start with.

If you own Avenue 4 for 1 computer, you can upgrade to Arena 5 for 1 computer at a discount. Then you can purchase an additional upgrade for Arena 5 from 1 to 3 computers. You do this at the regular volume discount. The total would be €400,- for the version upgrade + €900 for the volume upgrade. You end up with 4 valid licenses: your original Avenue 4 for 1 computer and the new Arena 5 for 3 computers.

If you own Avenue 4 for 3 computers, you can upgrade to Arena 5 for 3 computers for €950,-. The discount is bigger because you already own Avenue 4 for 3 computers. You end up with 6 valid licenses: your original Avenue 4 for 3 computers and your new Arena 5 for 3 computers.

The same logic applies for upgrading Arena 4 to Arena 5.

So basically we're crazy. You get to keep your old versions and pay less for the new ones. And still people complain that it's too expensive. :lol:
