Which S1 version is bundled with buying a faderport ?

[danam]

I have version 7.2.3 and will not get further updates. Since my beloved faderport classic does not work correctly anymore I am about to buy the newer faderport. But I am a little bit unsure which S1 version is bundled with it. Ok, Artist is history, but is it bundled with a 6-month subscription or a full perpetual license? And if it is a perpetual license, does it come with one year of updates? The information on the website is not that clear about it AFAICT. Thanks for your help in advance.

danam - As this is a peer forum, you should contact PreSonus directly for the best answer to this question.

If you go here

FaderPort® DAW Controller

A fantastic solution for anyone who mixes in the box, the FaderPort augments the way you currently mix. You'll still use your faithful keyboard and mouse for things they do well while getting your hands on your mix with over 40 key functions under your fingertips. This is DAW control the way you...

All is clear

And this license will give you a year of updates AFAIK.

HOWEVER - I believe this will also be a new (secondary) license - which will not effect (or extend) the "update" capability of your existing license.

I would think you would probably have to deactivate your current license key and reactivate your existing install with this new key and that logically should put you back on track for another year of updates.

Questions - hit up Presonus Support.

My experience is that the licence - at least as far as updates go - is stackable, but obviously PS will have the definitive answer.

Thanks guys. The point about the website is that a) they don't speak about the update period and b) the provided image suggests a 6 month Studio One Pro+ licence while the sentence below mentiones a perpetual licence (at least on the german website). So I thought I ask here for real world user experiences.
Sure I will ask the Presonus Support, though I have made mixed experiences with customer supports lately (in general, not Presonus specifically ).

I only ever go with what is on the Presonus USA site which is what I linked to and is what would apply to me here in Canada.

And I still do not know where you are seeing a 6 month Pro+ license etc - but if the German site has a completely different vibe - you may need to consult Presonus in your part of the world.

@Vocalpoint See here, but I noticed that the image is indeed different on the us site. But I already contacted support anyway:

Fair enough. Clearly a different offering over there.

Mine gave a 6 months access to Pro+ when
I bought it over a year ago...

And that was stackable.

 

[TimC340]

Yes, the offers are different in different parts of the world. I got my perpetual v7 plus 6 months of Plus with just a Quantum ES2, and then stacked a further 12 months of updates and Plus with a Sub 8, all from the UK dept.

We bought a Quantum ES4 in Canada a few weeks ago and it included a one year perpetual version of Pro+
