Question With How Studio One+ Works

I’ve been using Artist 5.5 on my older Macs for years on and off. Wanting to get into Pro v7 on a new computer, I decided the best thing to do was buy some new hardware and stack the bundled 6 month subscriptions to get an annual/perpetual license.

I registered a new ATOM Pad Controller and it worked perfectly

I tried to register a new ioStation 24c and it said the serial number was already registered.

I’ve reached out to Presonus and Amazon and I’m sure they’ll help me, but I’ll have to wait all weekend. So in the meantime I’m wondering.

  1. If I download Studio One Pro 7 right now as a Studio One+ subscriber, when I unlock my permanent license next week will that require me to download everything all over again to be using the permanent version and not the subscription version?

  2. On the my.presonus product page, most of the available software have a + next to them, indicating they’re on my subscription but I don’t own them. When I unlock the perpetual license will those +s go away on stuff that’s available permanently? I basically don’t want to accidentally download and get attached to hundreds of effect and sample packs that will go away in a year if I don’t resubscribe.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
