What is considered an "upgrade"?

Hi,

I have received an email offer, for a special price to "upgrade" to MMM Premium 2021. The thing is that it's not clear what is an upgrade that they are talking about?

I have purchased MMM Premium 2019 in the past. If I'm not mistaken, next version is 2021. But also, there is the "Plus" version of 2021. So what's that upgrade they are talking about?

Premium 2019 => Premium 2021? or

Plus 2021 => Premium 2021?

Or both??

Basically I just want to know if I can take advantage of the offer. Thanks if anyone has the info.

"Upgrade" just means that you can buy the MM Premium 2021 (full version) a little bit cheaper because you own an older version.

You can see here what are the differences between the versions: https://www.magix.com/us/music/music-maker/version-comparison/#c1263854

You can just download and install the free version of MM 2021 and enter the serial number of your 2019 Premium version and get the features of the 2019 version activated in MM 2021. Maybe try that first. If you need some features that are missing you can buy them separately in the shop. Maybe that is cheaper than "upgrading".

Really? That's potentially very interesting. For example, I'm very interested in the 2021 version because of the 64-bit support. So you are telling me I can installe the free version of 2021, which is 64-bit, and use it, and also have the soundpool, presets, etc, that I had in version 2019? Maybe with a few things that would not work, but still, very interesting.

Yes that's what I have done. I added the vst bridge so that 32 bit instruments still work. The only reasons to get a 2021 is to get the additional freely selectable instruments and loops and perhaps any of the additional features included only with 2021.
