Ok...so maybe it isn't unclear. Thank you for making that point.
Why, may I ask have you come to this decision? As the VIP pricing was one of the major selling points for this great library, atleast back in the days of First and Pro Edition. In what way do you consider this to be a reasonble strategy towards existing customers? To completly remove the upgrade path is a drastic move, atleast within such a short notice.
If you haven't upgraded your license within the 15th july, then you are stuck with a product you neither can upgrade nor obviously re-sell.
I know you are not "other companies", but I think it's still a fair point to compare this to software upgrade paths. Especially since the VIP arrangement always has been promoted side by side with the product. As a Cubase SX user, you can still get an upgrade path to Cubase 4. As a NI Komplete 2 user, you still could get an upgrade to Komplete 5. Even though these paths weren't announcent and used as a selling point for the product. But what you are doing now, is completly removing the possibility to upgrade with any kind of discounted price.
I am sorry but I just cannot see how this would make any sense. Or how this in any way is reasonable, especially since the VIP arrangement has been a way for customers to feel safe. This is for me a sad day, because this will probably mean that I won't be able to get the Symphonic Cube, atleast not for many years to come.
