    Hi @Paul (if I may), I suggest the following price plan: [b]VEP7 - One license - 1-Year subscription:[/b]€129 For each additional license: €29 [b]VEP7 - One license - Perpetual license:[/b]€ 399 For each additional license: €59 Meaning no extra charge for VEP7, VEP8, and so on (unless you increase these prices gradually though) [b]Already own VEP 6?[/b][b]VEP 7 -[/b][b]One license - 1-Year subscription:[/b]€99 (first year only) or each additional license: € 19 [b]Already own VEP 6?[/b][b]VEP 7[/b][b]- One license - Perpetual license:[/b]€299 For each additional license: € 39 I'm sure someone will complain anyway, but just do it! I think it's more sustainable.
    It seem like we have found our PricingWierdo. Jesus, how many wierdos are here? Unless you’re 85 years old, how can you not be satisfied with getting VEP for 299+extra licenses forever with no new costs? Well, there we are back with "forever" (which is a nice thougt) & the question: What happens when Herb T. retires? 😉 In other words: How long is forever? What do you think?

    You should better not ask that 😄 ...

    ... if I was Herb, I would sell the Software + Samples to a Developer who could theoretically coutinue and pays a good price. But on the other hand I would keep the Synchron Stage "as ultimate hobby" until the rest of my life.

You have VEP 6 forever indeed, but today you have to pay for an upgrade every time so With a perpetual license you wouldn’t have to. There’s no reason to be skeptical about that.

    Unless VSL made you the arbiter of marketing the point is moot. Anyone could throw any figure out there & call it 'sustainable'.

    Most of the people complaining about the upgrade cost don't even have more than one computer and don't need more than one license. You need to stop complaining..

    I would never buy a perpetual forever license either, equally brain dead. Vsl gets more money from me only one way, make something new that is worth the price they want me to pay; value of being determined by me. Until then they don’t get more money. Subscriptions and perpetual licenses represent an investment by the consumer site unseen for future potential updates which not even been announced much less realized. I don’t invest that way. Show me what you got, ask a reasonable price and I will probably buy it. If I need it

    And how do you know that dude? We'll complain if we want - it's not your business to tell us what to do or not do.

    Oh yes, many do. 

    I was just suggesting a solution since 10 people have complained about the new prices.

    Wow, I would really hate to have you all as customers. They haven't disclosed all the details yet and you guys are already whinning about things you don't know yet. Just be patient and wait for them to reveal all the details. Once they reveal everything and you still don't like it, send them an email. Amazing.

     

    Agreed. I would also like to add that I find it very hard to believe that many of us are hard pressed to pony up â‚¬145 for an upgrade, FREE Epic Orchestra 2..0 Library, and (what I consider to be a reasonable) Additional License Fee. Yes, more info on the upgrade would be nice, but fortunately I currently find my VEP 6 more than adequate and no one is forcing me to upgrade.

    Many do what? Follow your model? Care to tell us who they are? There's no one in music s/w that does what you're proposing. Your 'solution' makes no sense because you keep conflating having a perpetual license with not having to pay for program updates/upgrades.

    My 2 cents on this is.

    Why VSL market people don't think on old users (the ones that help the company grow and pass the word on this great app) and let continue to receive the upgrades as they always received one upgrade with the 3 licenses (without the upgrade of Epic orchestra or it could be included) and only the new users that start on this boat now will have these new prices.

    We are VSL users since version 3 or version 4 (we bought Cube Library)

    Most of us use those 3 licenses.

    I really don't like this new price tags for the old user.

    I bought upgrade and 2 licenses of VEP7. I have the 3rd of VEP 6 left. But I did not know that while I upgraded other I will not be able to use the 6 as versions should march. I believe Vienna should rethink this and upgrade the third license for free for such users otherwise it is not a FairPlay. Because one 6 license will be left . I bought 3x 6VEP to be able to use the third computer whenever I need . Please reconsider it, because I am left with one useless license when VEP is not downward compatibilie. I HOPE THOUGH I WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN MY OLD 6 templates in the 7.

    You should, it always has been the case before.

    That said, if ever you save a project with 7, if it still works like before, you won't be able to reopen it with 6.

    What's that got to do with the topic at hand? Well „the topic at hand“ is pretty death. We do not hear anything of the product we bought. That’s why I thought it is time to change the topic to something more interesting until someone from Vienna chimes in and and has to say something interesting ...
