You will not receive an Upgrade Serial until Garritan is ready to release GPO5. You will have to use that number to register GPO5 just as you registered GPO4. Those numbers won't go out until the release.

Gotcha.   Looking forward to it!
 

My response from Time&Space was that the serial # would not be needed by them at all. I will only be entering it when dealing with Garritan after the GPO5 release, when I try to download/authorize it.

Is this a popular software music sales company for US buyers?  I would like the GPO5, but want to make sure that I get it at the reduced price £82.50 ($117.50).    Amazon has GPO4 for $117.34.  I recently dl'd the trial Steinberg Orchestral ($99) which doesn't seem bad, but with the new GPO5 being released, I'd rather go for that.  Can't really afford much more.
 
As long as I can get it mid-month, it would be fine.  Just leary about buying stuff overseas if I ever have to deal with consumer issues... and how long will the dl take for 16Gb, lol?
 
edit, FYI... i registered at their site and they offer a 2Gb sample pack free as a new customer... I got it and they use a special 'Connect' software that manages the dl... worked pretty fast.

Time&Space are quite trustworthy. No worries.
Make sure you indicate your US address, so you won't pay tax.
Download duration depends on your connection as well as Garritan's.

IDK Michael, I got the same email requesting my serial # from GPO4 from Time and Space as all the others too.
 
And I agree with Fleer about T&S being reputable. No worries with them.
 

I have no concerns about Time & Space. Their email said that they started asking for the serial #, but after sorting it with Garritan, they no longer have to, since you cannot download GPO5 from Garritan without one. We won't be downloading it from Time & Space, anyway.
 
It does seem like somebody could buy it, that doesn't have GPO4 and then not be able to get GPO5, but those folks create their own messes, anyway.

I've never had issues with the Aria engine.  My main beef is you never know if there is an update.

Thanks for that link, Mack. A little munch of info to tide us over, through the next 2 weeks, is nice.
Yeah, kitekrazy1, I found out about the Aria update here, so I just installed that, myself.
    Maybe there are more little nibbles to come, while we wait. Time & Space sent an email this morning regarding the "mid Feb" delay.

ps Here is the email that I got in response from Time & Space (regarding whether I should send them my GPO4 serial)
 

Thank you for your order and for getting in touch. 
There was some confusion our end when GPO5 first went on sale. 
With many of our upgrades we require the customers to send in their existing serial for validation.
However we have since found out that the validation will take place on the Garritan website when entering the upgrade serial number. There is no need to send over the serial to us.
 
Best regards,
