Difference between PT8-MP Upgrade and Full version?
Is there a difference between the upgrade and full versions of PT-Mpowered?
I purchased the "upgrade" before the full version was available.. I had to buy an ilok separately but other than that it worked fine even though i didn't have a previous version of protools. in fact, if i recall correctly, the installation tells you to remove any previous versions before you install version 8 anyways. I guess the price difference is because you get a boxed version with printed manual and an included ilok? Full ($300): http://shop.avid.com/store/product.d...88865096003840 Upgrade ($150): http://shop.avid.com/store/product.d...24083762047056 |

If you have the ilok auth and PT is running then you are fine.

The price difference is because lets say you are just starting with pro tools you have to have a "full version" If you already have PT your license is on your ilok and when you uninstall previous versions your ilok remembers your account.
I started backin PTMP 7.1 had to bu the full version w/ilok then I just upgraded as needed $50.00 for 7.3-7.4 then $150.00 for 8.0. In short to answer your question , no there is no difference. |

Correct, not in the application itself.

Obviously there is no difference in the core program. I want to know what is included with the Full Version that makes it worth $150 more than the upgrade. You get an ilok with the full version which is worth $40. I'm assuming the rest of the price goes to the box, printed manual and the files on DVD?

Re: Difference between PT8-MP Upgrade and Full version?
I bought 7.4 when version 8 was only available as an upgrade and not a boxed versons I was told by numerous stores that there was never going to be a boxed version of ptmp8, but only one week after I had bought v7.4 as a boxed version the boxed version of pt8 was standing there shiny in the windows of the stores. But I did use the upgrade from 7.4 for free, and the difference between this download version and the boxed version is that you do not get the demo session files that are included on the disk and they talk so much about in their tutorials. I wish I had the session files myself would be great as a way to learn the new features. This is the only difference I believe.
