I saw that but I’m done with Waves. I won Mercury, Abbey Road, and some of the VI and NX things. I just don’t trust them to not pull support at some point in the future.

Good news!

4 days ago, I bought my first WUP ever and updated Waves V9 right up to V14, after reading an email from Plugin Discounts.
I never previously WUPped, as all the plug-ins seem to work OK on Windows 10 (though it's essential for current Mac)

Got the lot for substantially less than US$240 - there's a nice discount!

You can too, by creating a free account and logging in at:
https://plugindiscounts.com/
You can buy a purchase Code (My Waves Update Plan) to register at Waves.
You can receive a second license via the Waves Update Plan—again, just as before

Plugin Discounts will match or beat a better price on anything they are currently selling -
obviously, they can't match Exclusive Specials that Plugin Vendors are currently offering through an individual store, such as:
Solid State Logic SubGen Sub-bass Harmonic Generator Plug-in
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SSLSubGen


Anyway, if you want to compare plug-in prices, ask Tony:

Just went to check.

NOPE.

As of March 26, 2023, the Waves Update Plan can no longer be extended for Waves plugins which are now available as subscriptions only. Waves subscriptions include all software updates plus VIP technical support for the included plugins.

I had a few that were past the WUP but I had done a WUP a few weeks ago for Mercury and Studio.
Abbey Road and Clarity not included. Cannot WUP.

Obviously time’s still needed for Waves to re-organize, for individual plug-in pages to re-appear again - only Subscription page is currently available.


When available for Perpetual Purchase, 2 individual Product links for Moderator JFreak:

Waves C6

Waves L3 and L3-LL Multimaximizers

JOhn, I went to the website and logged in, but I don't see any deal on the WUP. Where do I find it on there?

I am able to buy WUP at Waves now, cart is showing maxed out at old price of $240. I'll wait this out, that isn't winning me over yet.
