This thing is not bad. I probably now have my 3rd free license of it... This thing would be very nice as a RE.

What's the use of more than one license? So you can upgrade the new one for free within the next 12 months?

Really like Berzerk, Waves offered it for free when it was first released

That's one of the benefits. Another one is to use the plugin on more than one machine after the upgrade plan has expired.

No one forces you to get the freebie. And i hope you can unsubscribe to Waves spam emails.

I also think its better to buy their stuff instead of upgrading, because its way cheaper...if you really, really need their stuff.

i think you don't need to use the waves update Plan. i got a few plugins from waves and nerver updated the plan. still all my stuff works.

That's right. It's cheaper to buy bundle updates during a sale than pay for a year's WUP. I had a free copy of Berserk that's at v11, this freebie allows me to update to v13 (even though Waves treat them like separate licenses), so I'm quite happy.

In terms of the Waves update plan, newer versions of Waves plugins work the opposite for me. In order to install newer versions, it prompts me my OS version is not supported and I need to update my OS. So I'm not sure how paying them for an update plan will keep things working on my computer... I've updated macOS a few times since starting to use Waves plugins, and as it just so happens, the older versions continue to work after I update the OS.

Them updating plugins, like any dev, to work on newer OS's (without adding features) should be included. Now if they were to continue to develop plugins to receive new features while also continuing to work on older OS's, I could see the value in that.

That's interesting... Has everyone received this email from RS? I don't seem to have it. Wondering if it was something that you had to opt into.

Yep. I get quite a lot of bumph from them, but not this one apparently. How bizarre. (Looks quite handy too.)

But perhaps this link will work for you?

Thanks Joey, that's very thoughtful of you. Strangely, the email still hasn't shown up, whatever search terms I use, and that link just takes me to a page which says ''A unique redemption code is on its way to your inbox.''

Maybe RS is split-testing, and only sending the offer to half the list for reasons best known to themselves. Honestly - it really doesn't matter, because there are so many great distortion units already available to us I don't especially need another - but I really do appreciate your kindness in trying to help. Cheers. :thumbup:

Haha - And now, out of the blue, it's arrived (after a slight delay, I think. Probably just the CIA or MI5 vetting my emails... AGAIN.)

Looks like clicking that link you gave me did in fact work after all, Joey. Many thanks. :P

Ok cool. Glad it worked! Must've been automatic if you were already logged in? It looks like the OP posted a slightly different link, if that's helpful to others.

I couldn't say for sure whether it was your link or the OP's (Dan_g) which did the trick, because I clicked both... but we know at least one of them worked, so I'm grateful to you both. :puf_bigsmile:

glad I could provide somethig that not everyone has gotten in their mail. if its a "freebie" everyone should have the chance to get it.

I already used it in some projects. does great things on my bass bus in my "phat rack". I really like how subtle it can be.
