Appendix: Cross-grade
It is easy to see that a customer who has previously invested in a hardware Duende DSP unit might want to continue to
benefit from ongoing support and development of new Duende plug-ins. In recognition of this SSL is offering every registered
Duende DSP owner a free ‘cross-grade’ to Duende Native. This page describes the terms and conditions for eligibility to a free
cross-grade, it describes what we are offering and how to go about applying for a cross-grade.
CROSS-GRADE ELIGIBILITY CONDITIONS
- If your hardware Duende DSP unit was registered in your Profile at the SSL web site on or before 1st November 2010 you
are eligible to claim free Duende Native licences equivalent to any Duende plug-ins you own for your Duende DSP unit.
- If you register a hardware Duende DSP unit which has not previously been registered with the SSL web site, you are eligible
to claim free Duende Native licences equivalent to any Duende plug-ins you own for your Duende DSP unit. There is no time
limit on this.
- If you own a hardware Duende DSP unit which had already been registered with the SSL web site on or before 1st November
2010 you will not be able to re-register it and will not be eligible for a free cross-grade.
- If you have bought any of the optional plug-ins (Drumstrip, Vocalstrip, X-Comp, X-EQ or X-Verb) for any model of hardware
Duende DSP unit or the Bus Compressor Upgrade for a Duende Mini, the Duende DSP unit will be eligible for a free cross-grade.
ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
- By accepting the free cross-grade offer you agree that SSL will no longer support your hardware unit.
- If you sell your existing Duende hardware unit, the new owner will not be able to register it, or be eligible for support or
be eligible for a free cross-grade.
- The Duende Native copy protection system examines your computer and builds a unique profile of it. As part of the product
activation process this information is returned to the SSL Online Licence Centre to be used in the generation of a Product
Licence that is unique to your computer. By accepting these Terms & Conditions you agree to SSL examining your computer
system and holding information about it. If you are unwilling to have your computer profiled in this way you should not
install Duende Native. SSL does not examine any personal data, other software installed or any computer use behaviour.
SSL will not share any of your data with any third parties.
- Each Duende hardware unit and all associated plug-ins will be cross-graded as a ‘bundle’ in a single transaction. If the
Duende Native plug-ins created as part of the cross-grade are ‘deactivated’ at a later date they will all be deactivated as
a bundle.
- When you cross-grade a specific unit, you cross-grade the unit and all plug-ins associated with it. You cannot cross-grade
individual plug-ins separately. Note that you do not have to install all of the Duende Native plug-ins; during the installation
process you can choose which individual Duende Native plug-ins you wish to actually use.
WHO GETS WHAT?
Subject to eligibility and agreement to our Terms & Conditions a free cross-grade means:
- Duende Mini, Classic & PCIe units included the ‘EQ & Dynamics Channel’ plug-in as standard so owners of all eligible units
can claim a free ‘Duende Native Channel’ licence.
- Duende Classic and Duende PCIe units included the ‘Stereo Bus Compressor’ plug-in as standard so owners of all eligible
units can claim a free ‘Duende Native Bus Compressor’ licence.
- Owners of optional plug-ins (Drumstrip, Vocalstrip, X-EQ, X-Comp, X-Verb, Bus Compressor for Duende Mini) for eligible
units can claim a free Duende Native equivalent licence.
- If you bought one of our Studio or Expanded Packs and your unit is still eligible you can claim a Duende Native licence for
each of the plug-ins in your bundle.
- If you own more than one hardware Duende DSP unit, providing each individual unit is eligible, you get a free cross-grade
for each unit. If you have multiple optional plug-ins registered (ie. one for each hardware unit) you can claim a free
cross-grade for each registered instance of each optional plug-in. So if you own two PCIe units, with all 5 optional plug-
ins registered for both units… and both units are eligible… you can claim two complete sets of Duende Native licences
- In short; everybody who owns an eligible Duende DSP unit gets an equivalent Duende Native plug-in pack 100% for free
and gets to keep their Duende DSP. Everybody who owns multiple eligible Duende units gets multiple plug-in packs.
