Why this deal is so poor? 2024 Black Friday price for updating from version 14 to version 15 costs 499.00 €. I don't think that's a very fair offer. Why does the update have this kind of pricing, which is practically far from the promised 50 % discount?

    It has always been the norm for NI to offer little or no discount for major version updates on Komplete software bundles in the year it is released—one has to wait patiently until the next Summer of Sound sale in the following year for the 50% (usually) discount on the updates.

    Yeah, this is partly understandable, but when you calculate the amount that has gone into updating the software bundle in the long term, it would be desirable to reward the loyal user with slightly cheaper update options. Well, you'll just have to wait for those fairer discounts…

    Q: Translation inserted by Moderator (translation by DeepL)

    Hi, I recently bought the K 15 ultimate (since the 14 colector) from plugin boutique for 399€. I'm sorry I didn't end up buying the K 15 colector for 499€ but I thought I'd be able to do it easily later as I'd always read that ‘you can buy one version and upgrade to another higher version at the same price and at your own pace’.

    So I thought I could upgrade for £100. But when I go to my N.I. profile, the price I'm offered for the K15 colector is still €499, even though my K15 ultimate is registered. In fact, I can see it in the list of my products and when I click on ‘what's new for you’ for the K15 colector only the few instruments (fables, kithara and valves pro) and expentions appear.

    So why is the best price I've been offered still €499, as if I'd never bought the ultimate 2 days earlier?

    If someone from N.I. could give me the solution to buy colector at the right price? thank you.

    Forum is English only please respect that !

    I'd always read that ‘you can buy one version and upgrade to another higher version at the same price and at your own pace’.

    You can , the price depends on when you buy , that is if it is discounted or not.

    So why is the best price I've been offered still €499, as if I'd never bought the ultimate 2 days earlier?

    If someone from N.I. could give me the solution to buy colector at the right price? thank you.

    Because Updates and Upgrades are not discounted at the moment , N.I. only discounted the the whole bundles at the moment , for a lower price wait for discounts on a later sale (or later in this sale) .
