     Hi hello everybody, Im a new user of VSL products.  have previously been using EWQL Orchestral Gold for about 4 years. Well I purchased a dvd of the special edition, standard edition (at the time i did not buy the extended licence). Anyway everythings gone really well and the end result is a system using a aluminium iMac with 2 gig of ram running logic 8 and a PC slaved to the mac with 2 gig ram. I used the demo version of Ensemble 3 to link the 2 puters together. The standard edition is installed on a sata drive in the PC slave. It all works incredibly well and i would recomend anyone who has a spare computer laying around to use it as a slave. There is something quite magical about having a complete orchestra loaded up in memory and it putting no visible strain on the master mac. This really is a major step forward in using large sample libraries.Anyway thats how it went for me and after a day of setting up, I have been writing stuff with it and i am loving the quality of the orchestra.

    I notice that I have all the samples of the extended version in demo mode and i am interested in purchase the extended version. Whats the easiest way of getting an extended version license? i have all the samples so i presume i wouldnt have to download anything but i cant find anywhere on the website where i can just pay and get a licence.  i notice i can buy individual SE Plus sections from the download section are these "SE Plus" versions the same as the "extended" version on my DVD?

    Regards

    Paul

     thanks for the welcome Paul.

    One last question, is it possible to buy the extended library a section at a time in the downloads section?

    Thanks again

    basically this wouldn't make sense ... you have already the data for SE extended (DVD version) on your harddrive, now adding the SE extended (ORCHESTRA download versions) would need some additional space, because the licenses are different from the DVD version.

     it makes perfect sense when I'd like to buy the sections over a period of time to avoid trouble off the wife for spending too much money on my hobby. :-)

    Thanks for the info

    from this point of view you're right ;-) the ORCHESTRA sections can be extended seperately, the DVD version unfortunately has only one upgrade license
