if you just buy the hardware and just register with presonus website, your bundle software wont work any more, i just bought nektar impact lx 49 with studio one artist 2 software, when i've done installing the software, they force me to register to presonus website.when the registration have complete they ask you to input the serial number, and the SN key didnt work on studio one artist 2 (from bundled dvd). so i have to download thee studio one artist 3 from presonus, and some how the app wont work, cause need win 7 SP1, so if u cant update to win 7 SP1 from windows update feature in control panel, u have to reinsttal fresh copy with win 7 SP1 not win 7. cause i have done that yesterday. and it works. hope this answer can help you
