I received the email about the free upgrade from Studio One 4 to 5 or Sphere, was advised to check my account to be able to choose free upgrade, but there is nothing in my account that leads me to do so anywhere.  How do I go about obtaining the free upgrade given that I am eligible?  Thx.

Same problem, but when I went into the existing registered software (S1v4Pro- also a May purchase) by clicking the little arrow to the right, I saw an green "Upgrade" button. When I clicked it, there was a box to enter the Product Code. Since I only have the one from v4, I entered it. Didn't work.

Same problem here, too.  Registered Studio One 4Pro in May, and I got the email directing me to log in to update.  I see no place to do that.

I have logged out and back in (several times), and tried refreshing the page.

Everything with PreSonus is easy EXCEPT the free upgrade from v4 to v5. How can a simple task as making a working upgrade function be so hard to do in a so advanced tech Company?? I went into the existing registered software (v4Art) by clicking the little arrow to the right, I saw an green "Upgrade" button. When I clicked it, there was a box to enter the Product Code. Since I only have the one from v4, I entered it. It didn't work and there are no more alternatives, at least none that is easy to find.

I initially had this problem with a mac using Safari.   I then switched to Chrome, which initially didn't work either.  But, it worked after I reset all Chrome settings with Preferences -> Advanced -> Reset settings.

Go to https://my.presonus.com and login.  Click products, Select Studio One 4 Professional. Then you will see a big green "Redeem" button on the screen.  Press that, and a window displays giving you the choice of Sphere or upgrade.  Select upgrade, and you then go to a screen with your product key and various buttons to download it.  Download it, install it, run it, log in with presonus details and away you go.

I suspect a chrome or Safari extension was stopping it working.

Same problem here! When I use the link in that email, directing me to my my.presonus page, I get to choose Between v5 or Sphere allright, but then it gets added to my cart and on checkout page it shows that my creditcard will get charged the full amount. On Safari here too.
