Great. Can I test the v26 trial alongside my v25 licensed?

Tommaso, yes you can. When you run the v26 installer it will check for an installation of v25. If it sees this installed, you will be given the option to remove this version or install v26 alongside it. Make sure that you choose No for this option as the default setting will remove it.

When I try to upgrade, it is trying to upgrade based on a copy of PM 2014 and not my copy of v25, which means it wants to charge me $200 rather than $149

I noticed that too. I did notice that the reseller I use has changed their upgrade description to 

MakeMusic Finale - Upgrade from Previous Version (download)

 

Having done that in the past, I will do so again. I wonder if the Chrome browser still gets in the way?

David,

 

Thank you for the quick e-mail. I just responded.

Hi everyone,

The reason that Adrian was only seeing the $200 trade-up option appears to be account-specific.

Mike, it sounds like you're referring the product description of a Finale upgrade as it appears on the reseller's site, is that correct? If so, then that would not be related to the specific behavior Adrian is seeing on the MakeMusic store page.

Although I mentioned a reseller site, I certainly do have Adrian's issue or a variation.

 

At first it was giving me only PrintMusic 2014 upgrade. Now it shows me PM 2014 and my Finale 2014 licenses but not my copy of 25.

So, the upgrade link gives me the option of upgrading 2 of my 3 licenses but not the one for Finale 25.

Am I mistaken or is this upgrade considerably more expensive than previous upgrades?  I don't recall the upgrade price ever being this high before.

Same $149 price as the upgrade to 25 a couple of years ago. Before that it was $129 and long ago it was $99 and included a T-shirt.

 

Every now and then, MakeMusic will have a sale on upgrades but I have no idea when/if there will be another.

Wondering if V26 fixed the launch hang bug in V25 for Windows 10. 

The one where you have to manually disable the print spooler function in order to launch Finale, then enable it again if you want to print from Finale.

Hello, if other VST are installed (GPO5) the update to version 26 will delete them?

Mike H,

Submitting a request directly to MM was how I would recommend you seek a solution to your problem if you have not been in touch with them already.

 

Fabrizio,

You may need to re-establish the connection between your new version of Finale and your Garritan files, but the upgrade does not delete them.

Well, the link now takes me to an upgrade of my 25 license. Still only shows 2 but it includes the one I wish to upgrade so I'm good.

 

Of course, I know that, if I have problems, I can drop a dime to MM through the link at the top of the page.

 

At the moment, I'm in the process of remodeling my office and buying a new Mac. I'll likely pull the trigger in the next week or two.

I am disappointed that V26 is only available as a download. I understand that this will help with the company but such a large download is very difficult without decent broadband. Perhaps the smaller V26 program could be a download with the Garritan libraries provided on a usb if required.
