Yesterday I phoned Turnkey music tech store in London and bought the one full product (the cheapest! 'battery')neccessary to qualify for the extra ten products at such an amazing pre release reduction. The store salesman informed me again during the phone transaction about the special NI offer regarding 'buy 1 get 10 for a fraction of the full rrp', whereupon he sold me the Komplete2 set while I was at it (plus digital performer 4 as well......'expensive phone call that:-)
I do not as yet own the computer I wish to install it all on, which, when I've saved enough cash will probably be a G5 dual 1.8, I also want to await the release of the anticipated 'Tiger' version of OSX, hopefully late summer (?)
I chose battery as the 'full product' so I can install it on my ancient 400MHz imac and register it online before the may 31st deadline, even if thereafter I cant get battery to work properly coz my imac's too slow. It's actually the product I have the least use for with my 'drumless' taste in music, so it wont worry me unduly to leave it on my old imac G3 400MHz, if it allows me to have the code number needed to install all the other tasty stuff on my new G5 when I eventually get one. I believe NI's registration process is very long winded for their products (and very easy to f*** up accidentally for technophobic idiots with my talent for ineptitude with such stuff) So Its probably wise to try the process for the first time on a product which I'm not that bothered about on order to get the code number, which the salesman assured me will work for the Komplete 2 DVD when I get the G5. I hope to God he's correct as I've received no reply as yet from Native instruments from an email I sent them concerning this. Are N.I. a good company for helping first time software studio users with stuff like this? I learnt any synthesis knowledge I possess many years before the dawn of midi, by trial and error knob twiddling, but am a little scared of completely screwing up a program installation before I've even got around to using it. I'm sad to say I'm very well practiced in the dubious skill of completely erasing everything on my HD after unintentionally reducing my poor old imac to a confused crashing wreck with my fiddling around and getting everything wrong, starting afresh so as to have a clean slate (once every few weeks, and it takes me hours I exaggerate not!) but Ive been warned that some music software wont allow one to do this over and over again, as the code number is changed every time.....is this so?
