Thanks, Bapu! BTW, have heard a lot of your work thru the years and was very impressed. Thanks for the help.

Guys,
 
Not trying to beat a dead horse, no troll intention, no IK bashing. Just asking for straight answers. Everything is so far skirting around the direct issue. Natives out here in the bush would ask for "plain speak".
 
My problem is inability to think complex. Any one of you guys on this forum have 50 or more IQ points beyond me, so maybe this has already been answered to completion and I just don't get it.
 
Asking for IK verification as to what is and what is not migrated from A3 to A4.
 
Understand that purchases from the CS can be moved forward if everything functions properly, and have faith that tech support will make sure the transition works.
 
Question with a more concrete example. IK guys, please help me out.
 
A3 opens and I can get into the stomps. Some choices are Diode Overdrive, Echo Man, Electric Flanger, Compressor, DComp. Many others.
 
Open the racks and there is Rezo, Tube Compressor, Analog Chorus, Pitch Shifter, many others.
 
Are these effects, racks folded into A4?
 
Was a comment that the loyalty program has this perk already taken care of for A3 owners. The 25% skeptic in me still needs a confirmation from the company. Something not right that I hope I'm completely wrong about.
 
No big thing if we can't use our A3 gear. New product, new rules. Respect at this point that IK is cranking out new softwares for PC/Mac. Thought for awhile you guys were lost in the I-stuff.

I, too, am confused with all the posts but if A4 works the same as A3 it should be this way.
You would download and install A4. After installation you would open Custom Shop and there will be a Restore My Gear button. Click there and all your Amplitube gear that was in A3 will download automatically  into A4. 
You can either uninstall A3 for a clean install of 4 or install 4 alongside of 3 and just use 4 for the new models. I always have uninstalled the older version and went with a clean install of the new version and restored my gear in the new version. I am a little paranoid about having so many versions of the same software.
I hope this clears it up. Most of all, I hope I'm right!

Maybe I'm wrong, but it always seemed clear to me that every piece of gear you own in A3 will migrate to A4 with the 'restore my gear' option in Custom shop.

Alright!! Explain to me in plain English what I would have to pay to get A4! I have 35 credits and 49 Jampoints. What would be the cash outlay for A4?

I've read to this post... thanks Sidroe. I am still confused. I have it pulled up. It allowed me to apply 30 jampoints which brings the price down to 69.99.
I have 60 credits... so... wha... can I use the credits and pay a few bucks? Should I buy more gear credits or just pay the 69.99.
Why does this have to be so confusing. I really think IK needs to get rid of jampoints or gear credits and go with one or the other. Just make it easy. Easy is SO much better than five pages of a thread and still confusion, really. Should I buy 25 credits (I think then I'll have 92 credits and use 30 jampoints and the balance with credits and have a few credits left over or am I confusing jampoints with credits with dollars?
 
Will someone smarter than me please tell me what to do. I guess that could be pretty much anyone, lol.

Sidroe,
 
Hey brother, hope all is well there in Georgia. Melted away in the Lockheed aircraft plant cranking out C-30's in your neck of the woods. Thermometer would hit 114 degrees F (high as it could register so who knows how hot it got). Some of us dropped and died in the intense heat, but we kept the AirForce running. Lots of fond memories from deep south survival. Brilliant thunderstorms. Intoxicating perfumes of night Jasmine mixed with the honneysuckle.
 
Crap, lost focus here...
 
What I'm trying to get a clarification of is what is migrated forward from the native A3 internal format. Maybe more correct to ask what are we losing that we cannot use in A4 if we have A3.
 
Clear that the migration allows cash purchases made from the A3 shop to be used in A4.
 
No problem. Understand that dynamic.
 
Vegetable level question to IK is... Does A4 has all the included stomps and racks from A3. If not, is there a mechanism to import stomps, import racks, import settings from A3 into A4.
 
Not the brightest bulb interpreting multilevel legaleze. Only inspired observation is how a simple question cannot be given a simple answer. Probably hell bound lawyers somewhere in the mix.

Sidroe,
 
At minimum. 
 
Go to the IK Store. Buy 75 credits apply $22 jam points (max allowed is 30% of purchase price).
 
Until the 16th you'll get 87 credits (once you log into the Custom Shop, they apply the bonus there). 87 + 35 = 122. You'll use 99 credits for A4. $53 outlay and A4 is yours.
 
I was in exactly that same boat and that was what I did.

What bonus? Sorry but I only said I was a knife, I never said I was a sharp knife.
 
Also, it allows me to apply 30 Jampoints... but I should only apply 22 ?? Why so confusing?

Julien,
 
Until the 16th any purchase of Gear Credits comes with a bonus. IOW buy 50 and you get 55. Buy 75 you actually get 87. Buy 100 and you actually get 120.
 
It's a special sale until Sept 16th. Been going on for about a month.

Julien,
 
The "bonus" is the diff between 75 and 87 because of the sale right now.

Thanks Bapu. I have 45 jampoints. It will allow me to apply 30 jampoints leaving a price of 69.99. I have 60 credits, so am I correct in thinking I can buy 25 and get 27 then apply the 30 JPs and the balance in credits? I should have 87 credits if I buy 25 more. Am I missing something or will that work... or do I still have to send money too.
 
Sorry...
 
Julien
 
edit... so flustered I misspelled my name. Ehhh
