Thank Larry. I see now.
 
And don't you get a coupon if you WUP?

Yes...you get a voucher for the full value of the WUP, but only good
for 25% off single plugins or 50% off bundles...

 Will they say, "Oh you can't because you go that in a bundle"?

Current WaveShell version # is 9.91...that's getting REAL close
to V10, so that might be why all the sales...might want to make sure
your WUP is good at least for the next few months..

 Live is a 9.7.4 and they make work on 9.7.5.  That may debunk your theory. 
I may start to stick with Melda, updates for life and also Izotope.   To WUP all of my Waves is far more than the supposedly $300 is all you pay.  I can think of a lot more and better DAW resources to spend $300.  I think Waves is going to be in a rude awakening when they expect support from hobbyists.

Ahem.
 
Everyplugin had quoted me $159 to WUP it all. That is about what I pay every 18 months. If I'm fortunate to pick up an "extra" somewhere along (for a small price) that usually amounts to about two years of WUP for the price of one discounted year. The last wup I purchased was April 19, 2016.
 
I could actually wait until Feb 20, 2018 (Mercury expires) and then WUP and be covered for everything until August 31, 2019 (Abbey Road + 1 year). 
 
Depending on my Christmas bonus I'll either WUP in Dec or Jan.
 

Now I can see if you own a small amount of plugs or a low cost bundle where up to $300 for WUP is foolish even if it is at the Everyplugin discounted price.

So, if they move to version 10 what happens to all the version 9 plugins? They'll still work, right?

In theory yes. It should be no different than X1 vs Platinum.
 
However, make sure your installer(s) are well saved because at some point Waves may no longer host them.

Let me make sure I fully understand this.
 
So, if the Waves plugin version number switches to version 10, are you saying it may be possible that I may not be able to use my Waves products that are from version 9 unless I extend my WUP for my plugins whose WUP plan has expired before Waves version 10 shell is installed on my DAW?
 
Right now my total cost is $357.00 to update WUP for all of my plugins. If I uncheck all plugins whose WUP doesn't expire until 2018, then my WUP update charge is $307.30, that is still costly!
 
Is this something I truly need to do, or is there a cheaper option?  Can I update WUP via Everyplugin.com for a reduced price using a code?

That sounds about right. If you own everything Waves it would be from them $300. It's those small bundles that kill ya. When you have that top bundle it's not so bad plus you get plugins if they release them during your WUP. If I buy the Gold WUP I get 3 more plugins.

I could be wrong but pretty sure that you'll still be able to use you v9's.
The only v9 plugins you'll be able to upgrade to v10 will be those with an a non-expired WUP.
 
 

It's not as if all your v9 Waves plugs will suddenly stop working once v10 comes out. Don't panic.
 
Cheers,
Eddie
 

Also keep in mind that version numbers aren't like currency based numbers in a cash register.
The next version after 9.99 isn't 10.00 it's 9.100, 9.101. 9.102, ..., 9.999, 9.1000, 9.1001, etc..
I've seen minor update numbers for some applications go into 4 digits (eg XX.1278) - depends on how they handle their builds and versioning systems. At some point Waves will make a marketing decision to roll out v10.  Maybe when they (if they) reskin their older apps.
