Solved Studio Pro 8.1 collaboration: Is the + version required to use Collaboration features?

[frjensen13]

Hello! I'm fairly new to Fender Studio Pro v8.1, and I'm trying to setup Collaboration with another musician using this version. When I try to Collaborate, the File/Collaboration/Share window doesn't activate any of the buttons needed to setup a new Collaboration Share and/or Invite collaborators. I also see the header has Studio Pro + there at the top. I don't have the + version, and I know it is more expensive.

It looks like Studio Pro + may be required to do this. Can anyone verify?

Yes, the + subscription gives you online storage "workspaces" that are used to facilitate the collaboration features...

Yes, and it's a major reason why subscribing to + is a good idea if you are collaborating with someone. But it's nice to know only ONE of you needs to be +-member, others can be invited to the workspaces, they need to sign up with a Fender account (which they probably already have, being Studio Pro users), but only the person creating the workspace needs the sub.
