Im on Mavericks OSX on a mac pro. Currently I have install 7.06 and the 7.5 is near completion.
Is this an update patcher or a full install? If full, do you typically install over the previous version if it is a full or unisntall (which can be a nightmare) Looking for the least headaches of course to retain key commands and settings.
Thanks for the help and excited to check out the update.
I would like to find the update option folks. Anyone have a link for the 900meg version of the update? It seems Im downloading the full version of 7.5 of which Id rather just update my 7.06. As posted above, its the only option I seem to have for US retail. Can anyone confirm an alternative option?
No, european (german?) online shop for steinberg is “asknet”. I need to log into my asknet account to get to the link, otherwise I had posted it already.
I qualified for the grace period upgrade. This morning my e-licenser upgraded to 7.5. As per the instructions, I was given those download options only. Strange.
Also I too wonder if the full is better? Do you run the risk of installing over a previous version?
I have the full download of 7.5 now but haven’t installed.
Can someone clarify if installing the full version of 7.5 over 7.06 is ok? In not could I get a link to the update? This is getting frustrating as I don’t want to ruin my rig and setups.
I just installed the upgrade from 7.0 to 7.5 and all seems fine so far. However, returning to the matter of this post, since I had to reset so many things, what is the advantage between the upgrade and the full install? (No serious problem for me, but my settings were gone, my VST plugin folder had to be reset, my “recent projects” were gone -not the projects, of course.)
Stienberg forgot to give an option for an upgrade link to the folks that qualified for a free upgrade. Nothing in the mail, no link to trigger it. So its a full install or nothing.
I backed up the system and did the full… It seems ok so far.
Some official word would be appreciated in the matter. Also I take it the extra content was included in the 6 gig version? Something about a trip library?
I tested all yesterday and it seems just fine to do the full install. It keeps the 7.06 icon but seems to retain the old default structure format so all worked right away for me.
Im going to stick to this route as it seems to be running perfect.
