Wasn't upgrade to 13 was promised to be free to those who bought 12 after the announcement of 13? That's why I bought it recently, you don't have to wait until release.
Navigate to this page https://www.gpsoft.com.au/order_intro.html
and all of your questions regarding pricing and whether or not 13 has been released will be answered. Much less tiresome than asking here over and over. And over.
We're getting close to the end of January, just wondering if the beta certificate will be extended or if release is imminent? I really want to give you guys money!! Opus 13 is amazing!
You'll be able to give us money soon, don't worry.
Awesome! I honestly can't wait to upgrade, you guys deserve it for all of your hard work not to mention the great support you all provide on the forum here.
Doing my daily work it just struck me that I appreciate Dopus so much (and have done since the Amiga times) that I want to pay for it again. I was very happy to see that version 13 is on its way and I'm really looking forward to purchasing the upgrade.
Thanks for all your work during the years guys. Looking at it now, we basically grew old together
Same, finally DOpus13 offers the coloring I really wanted for W11, happy to pay the devs what they deserve.
How much discount for those who bought recently or not so recent is a returning debate/question.
How about this method?
Start with a 100% discount which reduces by x% every further in the past.
If the discount is 0.2% a day, those who bought Opus 300 days ago get a 40% discount.
Obviously the discout should be capped.
It already works that way.
I will buy a new license since the price of the upgrade is equal to buying a new license in my country. DOpus 13 is awesome.
Is it possible to upgrade only one of multiple keys? I have one machine that I don't really want to upgrade to Opus 13, it's fine on 12. Maybe later I'll upgrade to 13. I know it's not a huge cost, but still...
Edit: And relatedly, if I do upgrade both licences, will Opus 12 keep working if I don't want to make any changes?
I ended up upgrading to a 5 pack!
It's not currently possible on the website to only upgrade part of a licence or split it into two smaller licences, but it's something we'll discuss. If you email sales@gpsoft.com.au they may be able to work something out, although this is not my department at all so I don't know for sure.
Yes, new licences work with older versions, in case you ever hit a problem and need to downgrade. (We would hope to fix the problem, of course, but you'd be able to use the old version as an instant fallback if needed.)
Thanks Leo. I will just upgrade them both them.
What's this subscription stuff I see mentioned on the website? I prefer to buy, not keen on subscriptions.
You can use the program forever once you buy it. It’s not an Adobe style subscription where you lose anything if you stop paying (other than updates released in the future).
@Leo I join the question: what about support of v12?
We may put out some small updates for 12 if needed but focus is on 13 now. We’ve given people who bought 12 free updates for about seven years at this point.
Thanks. So what is the "Renew Upgrade Subscription" subscription about? It says coming soon.
That will be something you can use in a year or two when the initial free year(s) of updates run out, if you want newer updates.
Can trial v13 be installed together with working licensed v12? I want to test v13 but I'm afraid of collisions with v12...
