Hmmm.  Might have to bite on Battery 4.  Not sure about Machine 2...will check it out.  Thanks for the heads up Strike, ol pal!
 

Thanks S-handsome1.....I've been wanting to get K9 for some time and at $199 (crossgrade), this is a good deal. The problem is I have a quite few instruments of K9 which I've purchased individually (as downloads), and I don't think I can sell them. Of course, I don't see why they should be refusing a re-sale???? I just emailed NI asking abou this......
 
Problem#2 is I've been saving my pennies for Maschine's Mikro2 (which is not part of this sale).....any advice?
 
 

Thanks for posting ... I hadn't received an e-mail from them yet.  Looks like the usual 50%-off on most stuff.  Always pays to wait for these sales from NI.  They generally do them twice a year.
 
Olpal, you might want to give that new Battery a good look before upgrading.  Not everyone loves it.  Some have reverted to Battery 3. 
 
Cheers,
Eddie
 

What seems to be the problem(s)??
 

Some have complained about Battery 4's GUI and its quirks.  It looks cool, but takes some getting used to.  Good idea to try it out for yourself if possible before upgrading.
 
Cheers,
Eddie
 

Will do...thanks!

Problem no 1: Most likely because those instruments that you bought are the reason why you are eligible to a crossgrade. So just like you can't sell Sonar 2 after you upgrade to 3, NI won't let you resell those. My guess.
 
I'm very tempted to do the upgrade myself too.

From the little I've read, it seems that if you buy a "boxed" NI product, you're allowed to resale. Not so with the downloadble products. Except for Battery 3, all the other stuff I bought were downloadble......I'll wait and see what NI says (I specifically gave them the list of products I wish to sell). Worst case scenario, I'll keep them and install it on a 2nd computer for my little ones to use.  

My understanding is that as long as you keep at least one item that makes you eligible for the crossgrade, you should be free to sell extra licenses.  Good idea to check with NI beforehand, anyway.
