Music Maker 16: Upgrade to Premium - Is there a download option?

oebbesvik wrote on 5/2/2010, 7:31 AM
I have the Music Maker 16 download version. I want to upgrade to the Premium version.

In the program I go to HELP --> UPDATE PROGRAM --> UPGRADE TO PREMIUM VERSION.

Then the Magix website opens and they offer me the upgrade to a special price. So far so good.

But the offer only (as far as I can understand) includes a box version of the software. That includes sending by mail and the time that will take...

I wonder if there is an upgrade to premium download option?

Thank you for helping out!

Thanks for your answer!

I contacted customer service and they pretty much confirmed the same as you.

BUT, still there are no such option when I try to upgrade.

Only the box version with shipping costs and time to wait. But after all, it's not the end of the world ;-)

Hello,
 
I am sorry that your problem is still there. If you contacted customer support by message then you should have their reply by e-mail to you.

If this is the case, you can once again replyto Magix by the same e-mail you got but do not change anything in the subject line. Then tell them what you are doing and that does not work. They will tell you how to do or if your download version is incomplete then will let you know. This is the fastes way to get reply from Magix.

Note: are you sure your download version is complete, why not check
from my pdf I have made for users, by looking at the image you can find if your MMM 16 Premium is same or not.
Here is a link you will have to download pdf

Feel free to contact for any problem.

Never give up, I usually quote this when I teach,

Thank you

I've sent messages to customer service, trying to explain the problem clear and easy. But I got a one line answer, telling me to do what I have done all the time. So I don't think they bothered to read my message before they answered...

Anyway, I've tried to re-install the whole system to see if it made any difference, but no. When I try the upgrade procedure as described in my first post, I'm sent directly to this page:

http://www.magix.com/uk/shop/shopdaten/upgrades/box/music-maker-16-premium/#utm_source=magix&utm_medium=links_diverse&utm_campaign=old_tracking

There are a special price offer to upgrade, but only a package version. If there are a download upgrade version, I think it should be easy for customer service to give me the link by email.

Hi,
I am very sorry to know you are still facing problem and customer support did not reply properly. If you are in America or Canada I suggest why not call US sales on 305-722-5810 (9am - 4pm EST, Mon - Fri and talk this is what customer support Magix (Germany) had asked me to.

I feel in your downloaded Magix Program some thing is missing that is why you can not get proper download message.

Specially for you:
I have upgraded Magix Music Maker 16 to Premium download version  but still have box and cd, I checked contents of cd took screen shot, made a zip file and uploaded. You download that zip file open and check if your installed Magix Program got those items in the image or not. Just one thing in Addon folder, download version might not have all items  ok.

I have uploaded a file called Magix 16 Box version.zip (51 KB), to sendspace.
You can use the following link to retrieve file: There are three images only



Wish you success.

Thank you

Hi,

I am sorry for the problem you are facing.

After reading your last message it seems you are in UK? if so, then let me say Magix got different policies in different countries. I am in Japan and can understand your frustration.

Feel free to contact if you got any question any time.

Thank you
