Information regarding your update

If you are updating from Melodyne studio bundle/Melodyne studio 3 to Melodyne 4 studio:

  • Your existing “Melodyne studio bundle” comprises “Melodyne studio 3” and “Melodyne editor”. Melodyne 4 studio combines and extends the functionality of these two products, so after performing the update, only one product will appear in your user account, namely “Melodyne 4 studio”. However, you will obtain more activations for it; these will allow you to run Melodyne 4 studio on three different computers simultaneously. You can transfer two of these activations, if you wish, to iLok.
  • If you have purchased add-on licenses for Melodyne studio bundle, you will obtain three further activations for each of them.
  • Your existing Melodyne studio 3 will not be replaced by the update but will remain perfectly capable of running in addition to Melodyne 4 studio. The same applies to add-on licenses. You can therefore carry on using Melodyne 3 but will obtain no further updates for this legacy edition.

If you are updating/upgrading from Melodyne editor Version 1 or 2 to Melodyne 4 editor/studio:

  • You will receive two activations for your existing license and will therefore be able to use your new Melodyne 4 on two different computers simultaneously.
  • If you have purchased any add-on licenses for Melodyne editor, you will receive two further activations for each of them.

If you are using iLok

  • If you have transferred one or more of your existing licenses to iLok, we will transfer the appropriate number of activations to your iLok account. (For an existing license, you will receive two activations: if one of them is transferred to iLok, one free activation per license will remain). Attention: For Melodyne 4, you will require an iLok2 or 3.
