I've got a 3 day weekend....I'm hoping (probably in vain) that I might get the license key from audiodeluxe tonight so I can actually get everything up and running....

FWIW, your year does  not start until you install AND register. Maybe you want to wait a week or so if the new update is a more important starting base to you.

Ozz
Have they been coming out at roughly the same time every month?  If so....any ideas when the October one will be out?  Debating whether to go ahead and upgrade now, or wait until the next update if it's coming out in a few days or something....

For best value for money start it on the last day of the month or the 1st? regardless of release date.

Bapu.....good to know.....I did receive my code last night, but maybe I'll hold off installing (who are we kidding...now that it's in my hands, it'll likely be set up within the next couple hours..lol)
 
And Doktor....Yes...1st or last day makes more sense than trying to simply time the update release....
 
Thanks to all for the replies.

Love SPLAT so far....  been quite cagey about X series since X1 
 
Wonder what the next release might bring!
