Yeah that totally sucks. I bet you feel as I do like they are treating you like a second class user instead of a user that helped support the thing in the first place. It makes me mad how companies like this treat their users.
It would make perfect sense to give customers who buy-activate the Absolute 3 collection - AN EXTENDED TRIAL OF the GROOVE AGENT 5 (UNTIL the ABS4 release) that they will get anyway with the FREE ABSOLUTE 4 UPDATE …It WOULD REALLY be fair.
PLEASE MAKE US HAPPY CUSTOMERS OF YOURS - THANK YOU IN ADVANCE - IF THERE IS A CHANCE to do the long trial of GA5…
Correct me if I am wrong but Absolute 3 is a discounted bundle is it not? Although it is not nice, I kind of get why you are having to wait vs. people who paid more than you for the individual products as it is presumably a licensing thing. Maybe this bundle other such products such as Cubase Pro 10 (which isn’t out yet) so I guess that is the hold up? Correct me if I am wrong? Look on the bright side, it will give them time to squish any inevitable bugs that you get with point releases.
