What is the difference between Crossgrade, Upgrade, or MAXgrade and how do I qualify?

What is a Crossgrade?

A Crossgrade is simply a discounted price for users who own another qualifying IK product already.  Its not an upgrade, as it does not require a previous version of the same earlier product version, as normally one would find with an upgrade offer. To qualify for a Crossgrade to another product, you must be registered with a paid version of another IK Multimedia product over $/€ 99 or higher. This allows for any IK user to expand into our wide range of music creation tools.

There is no loss of a previous license, only a discount!

A Crossgrade example would be if someone owns AmpliTube software but is now interested in keyboards and wants Miroslav Philharmonik 2. Instead of purchasing the full version, a discounted Crossgrade option is available at a lower price

Another way to check your eligibility is to add a desired item to your Shopping Cart. The IK webstore is designed to always offer the best pricing a user qualifies for.

What is an Upgrade?

An Upgrade is a discounted price for users who own another specific qualifying IK product.  An upgrade will allow users who want to stay up to date with the latest IK software at a discounted price, this is a more specific path with a deeper discount than Crossgrades. To qualify for an Upgrade to another product, you must be registered with a qualifying version of that product. This allows for loyal IK users to expand their collection of music creation tools.

There is no loss of a previous license, only a discount!

An example of an Upgrade would be if someone owns the SampleTank 4 SE software but is now interested in SampleTank 4 or SampleTank 4 MAX. Instead of purchasing the full version, a discounted Upgrade option is available at a lower price.

What is a MAXgrade?

A MAXgrade is a discounted price for users who own another specific qualifying IK product or collection. A MAXgrade will allow users who own larger collections to expand into different ranges of products, this is a more specific path with a deeper discount than Upgrades. To qualify for a MAXgrade to another product, you must be registered with a qualifying version of that product. This allows for serious IK users to expand their collections at a discounted price.
