all purchased content missing Magix only wants more money

I bought Music Maker 2023 a couple months ago. I started the program today and I received a popup that an update was available. I installed the update. Now everything is gone, my purchased beatbox kits, etc. Now I get popups all over the place wanting me to spend another 69 dollars for 2024. HEY it's July 2023 and i just bought 2023. Really?

on all of my order receipts it says "Did you know...? You can download purchased Soundpools, songs and sound effects anytime here: https://www.producerplanet.com/us/account/purchases/" the only thing i can find in there are links to buy more stuff.

WHERE IS MY PURCHASED CONTENT? thank you.

Hi

. . . . Now everything is gone, my purchased beatbox kits, etc. . . . .

After the update did you log in again on the welcome screen? If not the program is running as the free version.

What is the version number of the program under Help, About?

version 31.0.5.56

it shows my name int he upper right, when i click it goes back to the projects/music maker premium on the right and my email then "log out" there is "you already have a serial number?" (with a question mark) when i click "enter serial number" it says i have already used that serial number. below that it says "haven't downloaded any free loops yet?" which i have and i have also paid for several. If I go to "STORE" on the right panel, the ones i purchased are mixed in with ones i have not purchased. If i click through the ones i purchased they show up on the right (see screen shot) and if hit "play" it says "demo" over top of the recording. I thought these were on the left side somewhere but i don't see them anywhere except the store. Thanks for your help

Hi,

On the Welcome screen, do you see your activated Edition(s)?

Did you go to the Downloads tab and download and install everything that is there?

See also this message.

And this tutorial for 2023 but the same applies to 2024. No need to purchase anything. No need to purchase the 2024 Premium Edition unless there is something new that you want and need.

ok it says premium. it also says "get started on your first project". I already had projects, but i installed the "update" when prompted and now everything i had is MIA.

@Khadijah-Starchild

Installing the update did not get rid of your old projects. The MMM project files will still be exactly where they were for your previous version! Simply choose Open Project and navigate to where they are saved; if you use the Magix default location the correct folder should open immediately.

It also says New Project, etc.

When you install a new version and the old one is removed, the list of recent projects is empty - you have none with this version. In fact, the max. that you will get on the list is probably 10. Your projects are still there on your hard drive where you put them. Click on Open Project and go get one.
