trafficman Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Ok.. On the page to buy SS and see a comment in RED that states S3 Software is required to use the product. This is a addon to S3. Due to the number of channels I have I understand I need to buy the 24 CCR package. Do I have to buy the S3 also? I have S2 advanced now.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 If Im not mistaken when you buy the SS software you get a license that is also good for S3. Have you called or chatted up LOR. Try to get a hold of someone there. I believe DON stated if you buy any LOR software your liecense is universal for all the LOR software. So you buy the SuperStar package and S3 will come with it. As well if there are any updates for 1 year you get them free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 GG has it right ...If you purchase a SS licence, your regular LOR license will be 'renewed' for one year. That renewal gives you the ability to upgrade to S3 at the same licese level. Thus if you are running Basic Plus, your renewal would be good for S3 Basic Plus.Since you are running S2 Advanced, your renewal would be good for S3 Advanced.

Now do I download SS and S3?Yes, you can get the latest version (currently 3.1.4) from the software download page. Download the installer, close all of your running programs (especially LOR programs), and run the installer. After it finishes, when you start up some LOR program, it may ask you for your license name and key; after you register them, you should be good to go.

dgrant Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have a dumb but related question. I keep hearing the term "nenewal". If we've bought a license, how long does it last and what happens at the end of that period of time, if anything? Where is it shown the cost to renew? Is this license only good for this version or later released versions during the license period? I don't really want to have to spend hundreds more every year just to be able to use what I already paid for. I looked at the LOR website, software section but didn't see anything that clearly defines this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the license expires (or you reach the max version shown) what happens? Nothing. You can continue to use the software (at that level which your license supports) for the life of LOR.Costs to upgrade/renew your license can be found here: http://store.lightorama.com/sopr.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrant Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yes, Thanks Don. It was there in front of my face but obviously I was blind today. I'm going to end up with a full blown SS license too but probably not till I can afford to buy the CCR's...like 12 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should keep you busy. I have a 25 on my desk for Sequence editor and my old 19 next to that just for the Visualizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLI do that at work, 2 monitors from the card, 1 from a USB video adapter. I do not need that much room at home, the 25" for sequencer, and the 19 for the visualizer is just right. I would like to have matching 25's but my desk does not support such size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
