    MC Upgrade price from 2.8 to 3

    I can't seem to find any information on an upgrade price for MC software version 2.8 to the new 3.0

    Is this option still being worked out?

    And it would be extra special double sweet if the MC software upgrade price just happened to be the same as the MCA upgrade price Yes.

    Interesting.

    So it costs $495 to upgrade from Xpress Pro and $995 to upgrade from Xpress DV, and the same $995 will get me from MC 2.8 to 3?

    Soft or MCA???

    Great deal.   I can upgrade version 5 Pro to MC3 for $395 after not having paid any interim upgrades or assurance to get to version 5.8. Yet having brought MCA for full price. Paid 4 years of assurance for MC to be keep upto date (2.8x). Now Avid want me to pay $995 for a MC to MC upgrade.

    This would hardly have been considered "new thinking" back when Noah was hearing a forecast for heavy rain.

    Both. 

    Apparently in the great shakeup, no one bothered to knock on Finance's door.

    I know...it boggles the mind. I'm gonna see if Marianna has any insight for us.

    Been knocking on it for over 2 years now and it still gets totally ignored.

    Not shooting the messenger Todd. Thanks for pushing it Marianna's way!! Not sure how many more bruises her head can take from beating it against this particular brick wall

    Should be every companies policy not to let people with suction devices stuck to their ears to be put in charge of brooms
