Anthology XII Upgrade

For those that own everything and are seeing a $39 price, you don’t have to update. However, doing so will get you added value in the future that we cannot announce yet. Stay tuned.

What happened to the “added value in the future that we cannot announce yet” that you promised to upgraders 9 months ago?

The added value was the Physion Mk II plug-in that has been added to the Anthology XII bundle.

Hello,

You are correct, AXII does not include 2016 Stereo Room since it now includes SP2016. If you are updating from AXI, a separate license for Stereo Room will be deposited to your account in addition to the AXII license.

Great!!!!!! That is what I have dreamed of. 🙂

And one more question. I have AXI and H9 Bundle, so I have few (4 or so) H9 plugins twice. Will I get also separate licences for those H9 plugins that I have twice (those that were part of AXI)?

No, you will be surrendering your licenses for the H9 Plug-in Series bundle and AXI to upgrade to AXII, there will be no extra licenses for the titles that are shared between bundles. However, your upgrade price will be calculated to reflect the licenses you are surrendering. Looking at the titles you own, you should be eligible to upgrade at a very good price to get SplitEQ plus more that will be announced in the future.

OK, that´s a pity, but I cannot complain as I received H9 Bundle for free (as happy H9 Max owner) anyway, which was generous from Eventide.

Thanks for clarification and looking forward to “more that will be announced in the future”. It sounds mysteriously……..

Upgrade has worked for me well. It has removed all my Eventide licences, but Anthology XII and 2016 Stereo Room was added to the list.

I activated AXII and 2016SR licence on iLok dongle and everything works.

Do you have AXII and 2016SP active on your iLok account? And have you activated licences for those two?

I had AXI (everything that comes with it, including 2016SR, and the other one with the similar name, “stereo room”), plus 2 or 3 of the H9 plugins, all authorized on my iLok. When I ran the AXII installer it made it through the portion of the install that wipes out all of my previous authorizations, then an undefined “error” occurred and when I re-tried, I got a message saying the licenses I needed to surrender were not found in my account. Evidently because the installer erased them. I have no idea how to resolve this so I’ll likely have to wait until I hear from support. All of my other iLok stuff (and non-iLok plugins) are working fine.

The only Eventide plugins I didn’t already have installed were the new Split EQ plugin, and a couple of the H9 plugins they added to AXII. The Eventide plugins I previously had installed were working just fine until I tried to install the update. Then it sort of uninstalled everything I had from Eventide. Not exactly what I was expecting.

It maybe needs help from Eventide….

I have already updated Eventide bundle twice (to AXI and to AXII) and always without any problems.

Still do not understand, what is the problem. Do you have problem to install the AXII Bundle or problem with authorizing them using iLok? Those are two distinct things…

And what iLok authorisation do yiu use? Using the iLok dongle or without dongle.

I have about 200 authorizations on a type 1 dongle, a few on iLok cloud, and a few directly authorized to my machine. I’m pretty sure all of my Eventide stuff was on the dongle. I’ll have to wait for support to help me sort this out.

Hello,

I’m sorry about this issue. I’ve just found your support ticket in the queue and I will make sure this gets taken care of ASAP. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks.

Because they are included in AXII upgrade. So they are replaced by AXII.

are you sure?
if you have 10 (TEN) ultra channel licenses those are counted in to calculate the upgrade price??

i think it’s ridiculous! No company count the same plugin 2 times when you’re going to upgrad…

if i knew i’ll lose them i wouldn’t have upgraded at all.

Well, Eventide actually did it in some way also in my case. I had AXI and H9 Bundle, so several (fou or so) H9 series plugins I had twice.  And Eventide invalidated the both AXI and H9… But I did know beforehand, as I asked about here, and did not care that much as I received H9 Bundle for free.

But in case, I would pay for H9 Bundle, I wouldn´t be happy. I would not probably upgrade in that case…

Sorry, I misunderstood…

It is strange Eventide wants surrender also single plugins already contained in AXI, duplicite plugins…..

To answer this question- the surrenders are to give you the lowest price possible on your Anthology XII upgrade. An upgrade from UltraChannel + AXI is a bigger discount than an upgrade from AXI alone.
However, if, as in your example, you have 10 ultrachannel licenses, it is only counted once and you only have to surrender 1 license. There are edge cases in which a user might need a standalone license in addition to the bundle license, usually in the case of needing more activations than are allowed in a single license. In that case support would happily assist you in depositing an nfr license to cover the extra activations required.

i think this in not a fair policy, you’re deciding for me WHAT i’m going to surrender WITHOUT telling me BEFORE i buy the upgrade!!!
You should advice BEFORE is going to happen, cause NO company act like that using more tha 1 license to count in for any upgrade!
OR, at least you must allow me to select (like some your competitors do) which and how many licenses i want to surrender, and only AFTER that you determine the upgrade price.

Acting like that is VERY disappointing behaivour, and sincerely NOT honest policy versus your most loyal customers that bought during years your most expansive products.
If i knew this absurd thing i wouldn’t have upgraded at all :-/

I guess, It would be way better to allow users to choose, what licences they want surrender. Or at least show what will be surrended. It used to be displayed when upgrading, in past….

The upgrade from Anthology XI to XII (with no other plug-ins) is $199. This gets you SP2016 Reverb, SplitEQ and the H9 Series bundle (over $900 total value) . If you own Anthology XI and SplitEQ the upgrade price $159. Buying SplitEQ separately with a crossgrade ($77) and then upgrading ($159) will cost you more than your current $199 price.

Hello,

Sorry to hear of your surgery and missing the upgrade announcement. We currently have a crossgrade option for Physion owners, so using that with the current discount price that will bring your SplitEQ price to $59. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope that you have a smooth recovery.

Thanks for your response.  Yes, I saw the $59 SplitEQ upgrade.  But will that make me an AXII bundle owner since I will then own all the products?   If  not, is there an advantage to doing the bundle upgrade?   …and back to my original question  =>  Was my $99 upgrade LESS during the intro period?

There is a tremendous difference between $39 and $99.95.  Way too much of a late penalty considering I own all the products except SplitEQ (even own the Elevate bundle) and have been a loyal customer for 10 years.

It is not 39 to 100, it is 80 (discounted price) to 100 (current price) USD, if you do not have SplitEQ. 20 USD more because of missing discount period…

You could buy SplitEQ now for 59 instead of upgrading for 100, and have all plugins that are now in A XII…. But you will miss the surprise that should come for A XII users…  IMHO, if you trust, that surprise/plugin will come, it is better to upgrade to A XII now, than to buy SplitEQ, as later conversion to A XII would most probably cost more than 40 USD (it was the discounted price)…

Hello dgrace,

Everything that Fender17 has said above is correct. I have also emailed you directly explaining this. If you have any more questions, please respond to my email and I’d be happy to discuss further.

i’d prefer a “surprise” where can finally use the paid SplitEQ as it should (due to latency issue), rather than a gift plugin added at no cost to AXII 🙁

Well, it is not for real time work. And probably never will be in principle. Eventide maybe might make latency little bit lower, but one cannot beat mathematical laws…. There must be some, considerable latency to make it work as it works….

What is your issue with latency? DAW should compensate it, so what?

If you already own Anthology XI and the individual plugins not contained in that bundle, then you are correct in assuming upgrading will just get you one consolidated bundle license. You’ll also get maintenance and feature updates for all plugins in Anthology XII.

If you do not own Anthology XI but all individual plugin licenses, then Anthology XII will get you EQ45, EQ65, and EChannel, which are not currently available outside of the Anthology XII bundle (and previous Anthology bundles).

Physion Mk II (released Fall 2022) was the “added value” previously mentioned in this thread. Of course, we’re always working on new plug-ins, but we can’t comment on any future additions to AXII at this time.

Sorry but no, your upgrade price from AXI will not be cheaper than the current price. Everybody’s discount is different depending on what plug-ins they own. Other users got a bigger discount because they own more plug-ins.

You would get SplitEQ, Physion MkII, and all of the H9 plug-ins. Pretty good deal! Feel free to use a free 30-day trial for any of the plug-ins if you’re interested.
