I bought 8.5 producer last week, registered Friday.
Saturday, I received some emails, containing needed serials for x1 plus additional products.
These serials should also be shown in your web store account.
When serials are assigned to your account, X1 can be downloaded here:

And I'm firmly convinced, that "good" will move into "great".
I know that I've to save my project, whenever I've reached a save worth status.
But that procedure I'm used to, in every DAW I used
I'm very happy with X1a, for me it's my personal favorite, while I'm still quit new to is.
I never had thought about using 8.5, don't like the GUI.
Just did it for getting X1 as it's a deal until the end of month.
-> and didn't regret that
