Posted by Richard Cardonna on November 5, 2011 at 3:25 pmDoes upgrading from mc5. to 5.5 qualify me for a free mc6?

November 5, 2011 at 3:58 pmUnless you’ve done it in the last 30 days, probably not. I don’t know for sure, but generally, they see it that you got use of MC between 5 & 5.5.
Best,

November 5, 2011 at 5:06 pmOnly if you purchased/upgraded and registered 5.5 between Oct 15 and Nov 14 2011. Or if you’re on support. Otherwise, it’s 299 USD for the electronic download, _including_ AvidFX, Sorensen Squeeze, and Avid DVD. It will exclude BCC, though.

November 5, 2011 at 11:46 pmI just bought the 5.5 crossgrade yesterday from Amazon/Adorama for $926 with free delivery. If anyone wants 6.0 at a way cheaper price, I suggest they snap up a copy of the old 5.5 FCP crossgrade before they disappear.

Shipping to Australia is not free – $88.95
So if the shipping value does not include the shipping costs I will not have to pay duty. So lets hope they don’t stuff it up!
BUT I HAVE A QUESTION…. I have ordered mine also from Amazon/Adorama and they never asked for FCP serials or proof of owning FCP. Where’s the catch?

Shipping to Australia is not free – $88.95″We have an office in Houston.
With shipping to Oz, my understanding is GST is only applied on the product price, not the shipping. Best to check on the customs website.

I’m assuming it is like upgrading FCP or CS5; you will have to enter the FCP serial to allow installation of Avid to proceed. Or it could be in the registration process. You register and you get an unlock key. I don’t think it will be a problem.
