S.d., with respect, the answer isn't obvious at all, which is why I posted this thread, and you haven't offered me any reason at all.
#Cubase 5 student price full
It seems to only people suggesting I should buy the retail version are those who paid the full price and don't like seeing people get something for less than they did. So I'm not doing anything wrong, neither are the sellers. So it's win/win all round as far as I can see. I'm happy because I get a great product at a reduced price. The 3rd party suppliers are happy because they've made their mark up on it. Steinberg are happy, because they've sold their product and made their money. I'm not saying that I or anyone else should be dishonest and wrongfully claim to be in education when buying direct from steinberg, as that would be supplying false information and break the terms of sale.īut the versions supplied by third parties (on Amazon etc.) were bought from steinberg legally at some point (maybe from a college/institution which over-bought/went bust whatever) and they legally sold the copies on to third party suppliers, which they are entitled to do according to steinberg themselves. You think steinberg are selling reduced price edu. Unless you're implying that I should buy the retail version for moral reasons as opposed to economic reasons? Should I have bought it then? Yeah sure, but I didn't because the college had enough dongles to round during classes. S.d., No I'm not a student but have spent 3 years in music tech education. Thanks harry, finally some sense from someone.
No-one has yet to convince why I should buy the retail version and spend an extra E150. There is no request for further proof such as student ID or college details. Maybe they see it as a way of attracting new customers and users.Įven the form steinberg provide when you buy it from them, is very vague.Īll you do is sign your name saying your a teacher/student.
version, they don't do it out of the goodness of their hearts.
version users who aren't in education but they obviously feel it pays off to offer an edu. I'm sure steinberg realise that there are many edu. Thomann used to also, but it seems they don't aynmore. I only found one ebay seller who provided a form to fill out stating that you were in education. It seems to me that you don't have to in many cases.
#Cubase 5 student price software
I guess most people just assumed they would have to provide proof to either the seller of the software or to steinberg that they are in education. Why would I Pay FULL PRICE when I can get the education version a lot cheaper.
