Question

I registered my copy of Studio One V.4 Professional one month ago and received the email telling me I am eligible for the free upgrade but when I click on the Redeem button I do not get the option to upgrade, only to subscribe for a year to Sphere.

I am now seriously considering looking for alternatives to this shoddy company!

PS - I have tried this in multiple browsers and the same issue occurs in all

Answer 1

Try google chrome, for me it helped. Copy link from letter and open in Chrome

Answer 2

I have tried Chrome, Firefox, Safari and even the dreaded Microsoft Edge - they were lying about the free upgrade IMHO ;-(

Answer 3

Im having the same issue any suggestions

Answer 4

I'm afraid I have no suggestions I have opened support tickets with no joy thus far.  I'm beginning to consider opening a claim with Paypal to get my money back for Studio One as well as the other Presonus kit I bought and investing my time and learning effort elsewhere ;-(

Answer 5

The mail is indeed not very clear. On the MyPresonus page, you have to click on Studio One 4 in your list of registered products. Then on the page for the product, there will be a 'redeem' button. For me, this only worked in Chrome but not in Firefox.

The text on the page only talks about PreSonus Sphere. I want to upgrade to the perpetual Studio One 5 license, not the subscription, so I am a bit reluctant to click that button, though...

Answer 6

Update: The redeem button leads to a page that offers one year of free subscription, but no Studio One 5 license.

I still suppose this is a technical problem, the offer is clearly in good faith!

Answer 7

I'm not sure there is any evidence of the offer being in good faith since there  is no way to redeem it 

The wider point here really is that I have invested a large amount of money in the Presonus platform, both hardware and software, and am about to invest a lot of time in making it part of my workflow, their failure to implement a fairly straightforward software upgrade path which is entirely under their control doesn't exactly inspire faith in their technical abilities IMHO.

Answer 8

It's ok with Chrome! No with Safari... click on Redeem on Studio 4 purchase and choose Studio One 5 or Sphere. By the way, I went with Studio One 5

Answer 9

Having spent far longer than I should investigating this I can tell you it DOES NOT work for me with Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Safari or even MS Edge.

You may have had a different experience but I cannot get my free upgrade in any way ;-(

Hello. Just had the same problem using Safari on imac.

Make sure you're signed out etc. and close window. I had to install chrome (completely new browser for computer) just to get it to work. It did straight away! (Maybe there's some issue with browsers/presonus page saving info etc. for ease of signing in or something?)

Follow the instructions in this link and also see what you qualify for etc.

https://support.presonus.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045502411-Is-there-a-Grace-Period-for-those-who-recently-purchased-Studio-One-4-

You click on products in your account - select your qualifying studio one 4  product, then on studio one 4 product page there will be the magical green redeem button.

You initially see a window that only looks like an option to redeem sphere (1st window under 'Redeeming instruction" in link) - you click on that and if you qualified for the Daw upgrade you will see both options as in 2nd window shown. if you only see the sphere  option here you didn't qualify for the DAW upgrade. I believe you can get it (studio one 5) somehow as part of the sphere subscription - so free for a year - but then its tied to your sphere subscription. Again not entirely sure about that, do check it out before hand.

Hope this helps.

Answer 11

I found it in Chrome on a PC at work. Unfortunately, I have Safari on my Mac at home and it doesn't show up there.

Answer 12

Button showing up for me using Opera, macOS 10.13.6

Answer 13

It has now worked for me as well, using Chrome on Windows. The Redeem button on the product page now also had the blue button for upgrading to Studio One 5 as in the screenshot by mattbennett
