I need to see if I didn’t uninstall Melodyne before I upgraded Studio.
I have not crashed upon opening any files, but I am crashing at least once a day.
My big issue is that I can no longer convert audio to midi, and then Cakewalk freezes.
Studio, Editor and Essential are all the same program. So you wouldn't need to have upgraded. It's just the license that dictates what level of functionality you have.
Before I upgraded my laptop, I had editor on my desktop PC and essentials on my laptop, with exactly the same version installed.
As soon as I authorised editor for my laptop, it picked it up right away.
Up until that point, I could take my iLok out of my desktop and plug in into my laptop in order to use editor.
