Waves Transfer Fees

Waves have changed their Transfer Fee policy.  Read below...
Apparently this went into effect on July 11th 2016...which I was not aware of, so
thought I would post it here...


Transfer of Ownership Steps for Software:


Here are the steps for transferring a license from one account to another. Each license being transferred will need to be covered under the Waves Update Plan.
First, make sure your licenses have been updated to version 9 in your Waves Account.If your licenses have been activated to your computer or to a USB flash drive, move them back up to the cloud using Waves Central.Complete the form below.Transfer fees are 5% of the normal list price of the products being transferred (with a minimum $10 and maximum $150).Upon receiving your e-mail, we will confirm the following steps are complete and send you a secure payment link to complete the transfer fee.Once this payment is finished we will complete the transfer. The Waves Update Plan end date will be transferred to the new owner as well.If you have questions, feel free to contact our Sales Team.

Transfer of Ownership Steps for Hardware:


Here are the steps for transferring a hardware license from on

That's what I thought also, but saw the "Last revised date", and that's
what threw me.  I don't recall there ever being a fee, unless for Bundles
that retailed over $700...in which case it was $150..

but on 8/30 when I emailed Waves about transferring Gold it had the old verbiage.

Whoops, there goes one advantage of Waves ownership: being able to transfer most products without a fee (as long as the WUP was in effect).
 
I assume Matt's license-transfer workload just got too crazy. Welp, there's something to keep in mind before plunking down the cash for that $29 plugin ...

Either WUP or transfer fees, not both.
 
 

Thanks for the post Larry!

I've had Gold for a while.  I'm out of WUP and I have no desire to let Gold go.
 
I had access to Mercury for a while and there are some VERY nice Waves plugs - but I don't need them.  Now I need them even less.
 
 

I never to sell my Infected Mushroom. Or my Mercury, Abbey Road or SSL bundles. I'll continue to WUP them too.
 
I do have one unregistered copy of Abbey Road Vinyl I'll sell to the first reasonable offer. Since I never registered it there is no transfer fee.

Thanks, but I have multiple logins I can do it to myself.

I'm very happy with what I bought from WAVES. Most of it I bought at sales when prices were much lower than regular, so to me it makes sense to hold on to everything, not just my traditional go to plugs.

I'm out of WUP and intend to keep it that way. Though I tread the day when version 10 appears forcing me to reWUP or stay with what is installed (probably the later)

So, I just got an invoice for a purchase of WUP from Dec 2016???

Did you make this purchase?
 
If not, may wanna find out who did.
 
And if you did it, did you get a coupon for future purchases?
 

Yes I made the purchase...but WHY would it take 10 months to send
an invoice?  I think they've flipped their Wacky Waves lid...

It's the end of WUP as we know it.
