bob Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 In addition to what is mentioned on that page, an upgrade (such as "Standard to Advanced") counts as a license renewal.So if you have a license that doesn't support S3, and you want S3 at a higher level than you currently have S2, just purchase an upgrade, not a renewal and an upgrade.

Galen Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 So . . . I have two questions, one you are probably all tired of hearing, and the other is one that I haven't seen addressed:1) I have a S2 version that is not eligible for a S3 upgrade. Since I want to upgrade AND try the the instant sequencer (even though I don't have CCRs), I need to get the SuperStar as well. So all I need is the $45.95 SSE (2 CCR version since I have less than 300 channels) and that includes the upgrade to S3?2) My old S2 had several licencing seats that were lost to now dead computers, I haven't needed those other seats, but in the upgrade, do I start with the full compliment again, or would I need to have those seats restored if I ever needed to place this on some of my other computers?

LOR Staff Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 1-Yes.2-You'll probably have to have those seats restored. But that is as easy as sending an eMail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddmoon Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Ok, so I am as clear as mud. :shock:If I do not have any CCR's and I want to have the ability to use the auto sequencer feature I need to renew my current 2.9 advanced license to cover S3 and then purchase Super Star for 45.99 as a add on feature to S3?How well will the auto sequencer work with my system auto sequencing if I do not have any CCR's? I have a animation file to see how the sequencing works with my programming so does Superstar work with that file to auto sequence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will renew your license AND give you the 2_CCR license.So, for you .. you need only spend $45.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Don is correct I was in your same boat, Todd, and I simiply purchased the 2 CCR version of SuperStar (for $45.95) and I now have S3 and Superstar working fine (other than user error;)).

wallleyes Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Ok so i renewed my advanced license and upgraded to 3.0.Looks like i should have upgraded even more to get the auto sequencer.I still have a few seqences to finish this year.Will i be ok using 3.0 on them? Or do i need to uninstall 3.0 and reinstall 2.9.4 again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 The first thing to do is check ones license level.If you are not eligible for S3 and *only* want to 'upgrade' to S3 you need only to *renew* your license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddmoon Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I did renew my 2.9.4 for 29.95 to S3. I did not realize until afterwards that the auto sequencing feature only comes with the Superstar package.I have emailed LOR and asked if I can change my purchase to 2 CCR Superstar so I can get the auto sequencing. So far I have not heard back on this.Had I just renewed to the Superstar package I would have renewed my current 2.9.4 Advanced license to S3 and had the auto sequencing feature I wanted and only comes in the Super star package for 45.99.

Larry Leonhardt Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I just upgraded to S3, for 29.95, and now would like to add 2 CCR's, so what should i do, upgrade to 2 ccr's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddmoon Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I sent an email to Dan asking if I could just pay the difference to upgrade to the Superstar 2 CCR since I already paid the 29.95 renewal. Still waiting to hear back on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Any upgrade counts as a renewal.I did this exact same thing, and LOR DID make it right for me. I thought the ordering information could have been a little clearer, but as usual, LOR helped out. I actually entered a ticket on their web site. Mary fixed it. Great customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
