Can you include the new upgrades? They're quite expensive.
PS: I bought the Elite bundle during the previous promotion and the plugs are great!

Hi there,
Yes TDM are included... Simply join the group-buy and email us before purchase.
Thanks - Peter

hey Peter, I am totally in, will get the elite bundle. fuck yeah!
hey, I have a quesition> what do you mean by "rounded price"?
You just mean you will simply round down the price for the Elite bundle if we reach 400 buyers?
That is, from $630 to $599? I just didn't find the reasoning on that "rounded price" portion. But sure, who cares, right? Though it doesn't hurt to ask.

Hi Haller,
Thanks for the kind comment !
Well yeah, we will simply round down the price from $630 to $599 if we do reach 400 buyers ! Isn't $599 more attractive than $630
Enjoy !

Quite expensive, I wish they would include this. Also it would be great to offer a bundle price for all 64 bit updates.

Dear friends,
I apologies but upgrades are exclusively processed from the Sonnox website...
Sorry about that !

I would like the Sonnox Post Bundle (Native). I already have the Oxford EQ and Dynamics. Would I get an additional discount off the 50%?
Posted by: c.hilding Dec 15 2011, 02:06 AM
Thanks for running the Group Buy again! I'll repeat my post from 2009, before the same questions come up this year too. Last time there were a lot of panicked and confused users. Read this post if you need step by step help.
The ordering process went completely smoothly the entire way. Why? Because I read the instructions and used my brain.I'll do my best to help everyone by detailing how the entire process works.
- Step 1: Register with DontCrack Forum to be able to join the group buy. You have already done this or you wouldn't be here.
- Step 2: Press the "Join Group Buy" button on the Group Buy page. You have already done this or you wouldn't be here.
- Step 3: Register with the https://store.dontcrack.com/create_account.php, which uses a SEPARATE login unrelated to the forums.
- Step 4: Wait for the Coupon Code in the email. Every email has been sent out, but you may have delays on YOUR side due to email server problems with your email provider, blacklisting, anti-spam measures, etc. Check JunkMail folders or similar and verify that you haven't blocked emails from DontCrack. If you've received OTHER emails from DontCrack already, then you know that they're not blacklisted and that any delay is due to your email server not having processed the email yet. Keep a cool head and wait.
- Step 5a: Go to the DontCrack Store and add the desired Sonnox Bundle to the cart. Go through the entire Checkout process. When it gets to the stage that provides a "Redeem Coupon:" field, enter the coupon code there and press "Redeem". Make sure that the price has updated before proceeding, then finish the checkout, which is done via Paypal.
- Step 5b: At this stage, some people may run into payment delays due to Paypal processing. The thing is that Paypal does their best to ensure that people don't steal other people's money. Nobody knows exactly how their process works, but sometimes this leads to payments being stalled while they investigate. As the DontCrack team member verified, this HAS happened to some people. This is ENTIRELY Paypal's fault and will be resolved when PAYPAL is finished.
- Step 6: Once the payment has been accepted, which happens instantly for MOST people, you will receive an email from DontCrack with the Sonnox serial number for the product you chose. This is where DontCrack's end of the deal is DONE, they have NO more control beyond this stage!
- Step 7: Only if you don't have an iLok account yet: Go to http://www.ilok.com and http://www.ilok.com/ilmredir/wa/UserRegistration, where you get to choose an iLok account name, password and provide various details about yourself. Please be sure to select an account name you like, as it can never be changed. Note: You don't need an iLok key YET; you can make the account ahead of time.
- Step 8: Now that you have an iLok account, proceed to Sonnox's registration page. It's at http://www.sonnoxplugins.com/register/. Accept the license agreement (which mainly states that you are not allowed to sell/transfer the plugins without Sonnox's permission. Please respect this or your license may be terminated!). You are then asked to enter the serial number that you received in the DontCrack email. Do this, and press "Proceed." Next, provide a little bit of info about yourself, as well as your iLok.com account name (this MUST be correct!). Continue, and then be VERY PATIENT as it will look like a blank page that keeps flashing. This is NORMAL, this happens while it uploads each license to your iLok account one license at a time. DO NOT CLOSE THE PAGE OR TOUCH ANYTHING until the process is done (it takes 1-2 minutes) or you will break the license upload process. It is done when you see a webpage listing all the plugins you now own, along with download links for manuals and the plugins themselves. Sonnox will also send you a confirmation email containing a link that lets you return to this download page to get new versions anytime. DON'T bookmark the page you're at (it contains dynamically generated variables that will become static if you bookmark it). Use the link in the email every time you want to download the plugins. Note: The download page provides downloads for both PC and Mac versions. Your license allows you to use either kind!
- Step 9: Log into your http://www.ilok.com/ and you will see all the licenses there (under the "Download Licenses" tab to the left), provided that you gave Sonnox the correct iLok account name. The licenses are stored as one license per plugin, so verify that you have a license for every plugin for the Bundle you purchased.
- Step 10: If your key is already linked to your iLok account, simply download the licenses to the key. If you don't own a key/haven't linked it yet, then get a key and link it to the account by following the instructions on iLok's site, then download the licenses to your key.
- Step 11: Make sure that your computer has the iLok plugged in and iLok drivers installed, then simply install the plugins that you downloaded from Sonnox's site (remember, use the link in Sonnox's email whenever you want to download the plugins).
That's it. Sure, it's a complicated process, but it was well laid out in the various emails and websites.
Troubleshooting:
- If there are problems with Step 1-6, contact DontCrack.
- If there are problems with Step 8-9, contact Sonnox.
- If there are problems with Step 7 or 10-11, contact iLok.
Good luck everyone!
- Chris

Wow Chris, thank you so much for this great step by step tutorial ! I didn't see that in 2009 as yes we had received crazy customer support emails at the time.
That certainly will be very useful to many users this year and will see how we can use that if you do allow us to do so of course...
Again thank you very much for your time describing with great precision the hole Group-Buy, PayPal, iLok, install, procedures. I think we could use someone like you as we more and more do face crazy support and therefore do need to print very clear product and store information...
Kindest Regards - Peter
Posted by: DontCrack Dec 15 2011, 11:48 AM
Hi midimike,
Thanks for your interest in our Sonnox GB offers !
I apologies but that is something we unfortunately cannot handle. We have signed strict agreements with the folks at Sonnox and nothing planed to upgrade previous users licenses. You may consider reselling previous licenses after the promotion though I do understand this is not the easiest process.
Thanks for your understanding.
Kind Regards - Peter

Hello Peter! You are very welcome to use the entire message in any way you see fit, and without any need to credit me for it. It only needs some minor rewrites to take a more neutral DontCrack point of view. You're free to send it out as part of the emails to Group Buy customers etc. Anything to help you avoid repeating the support nightmare back in 2009. ;-) This is my thanks for having saved hundreds of dollars back in the last Group Buy.
Unfortunately I can't join your team as a documentation writer as I have my own startup company where all my time is dedicated, but thank you very much for the vote of confidence, and thank you again for running such fantastic promotions! Good luck with everything and I wish you continued success!
Chris

Thank you for this great opportunity.
I am very interested by 3 plug, but they are not in an already listed bundle. I am interested by : Dynamics Inflator and Modulator. The addition bill of 3 it's more expensive than someone bundle. is it possible for Sonnox to propose different combinations ?
Thank you and goodbye

What exactly does that mean? Does one have to upgrade after getting the plugs through this GB?
Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi FrankT,
Upgrades are only for previous versions. The Group-buy are the latest 64bit versions that obviously don't need to be upgraded...
Thanks - Peter

thanks Peter, that's what I thought an hoped :-)
Another question: i have an ilok vers.1. I understand that I can only use the 32 bit versions with that and that I need an ilok v2 for 64bit. Correct?
Posted by: benmuetsch Dec 25 2011, 07:49 PM
Hey, I joined the Group Buy but didn't recieve a coupon. How can I pick the bundle I want to buy? Or do I pick a product after the joining period is finished? Dont want to miss that as I really would like to buy the elite bundle.
Cheers and happy xmas,
Ben

Hi Peter, I just noticed that the MSRP listed first in the table on that page (http://store.dontcrack.com/group-buy/) are HIGHER than the MSRP prices listed just below, under "Products in this group buy".
Example:
Elite bundle: MSRP in the table> $1260
Elite bundle: MSRP under "Products in the group buy"> $1198
is that right? It's impossible the manufacturer is suggesting TWO retail prices, no?

Hi Haller,
The MSRP is $1260.
We simply lowered the MSRP prices to reflect the round-down prices in order to send a single 50% discount voucher coupon to all subscribers.
If we don't do that, we'll have to send a complicated list of voucher coupons for each product. There are 29 all together...
Hope that answers your thoughts.
Kind Regards - Peter

Recieved e-mail with an invalid download link.
Tried to register at Sonnox (link also provided) - serial recognized but nothing happen after (white screen with Firefox & IE).
Really nice 
edit: after multiple retries I finally suceeded. It look like servers are under heavy load.

Greetings,

Posted by: FrankT Dec 27 2011, 09:33 AM
Instantly received my serial - Don't Crack processing is flawless as usual. Thanks Peter!
Question: Can I first register the Enhance Bundle to my Ilok1 and then transfer licences once I receive my ordered Ilok2 (which should come in the next days) ?
Or is it better to wait until I have my Ilok2 and register directly to the Ilok2 ?
(waiting sucks...:-)
thanks
Frank
Posted by: lodmalm Dec 27 2011, 10:28 AM
+1 waiting. Oh well, I can live without this deal.
Posted by: r2d2 Dec 27 2011, 01:54 PM
Our (new) servers are not under too much load. We can handle a lot of more sales... 
But Sonnox authentication servers are under heavy load, because of the DC GroupBuy but also because they've launched their 64bit upgrade at the same time.
Some of you might get some message in their order telling : "There has been a problem while processing this product and we truly apologize for the inconvenience. We have been informed about that and be sure that we will contact you in less than 48h."
When this happens, it means that the Sonnox server has not been able to provide the serial number during the order checkout (certainly because it is under too much load). We always get informed in the next seconds, and we manually re-process all failed orders, until they finally succeeded.
We're doing our best to deliver your order as fast as possible: You can be assured that your order is in the queue, and that it will be delivered in the next hours.
Posted by: lodmalm Dec 27 2011, 02:45 PM
Well, I did not get an email notification, voucher or anything. At the page it states this:
Dear lodmalm, as a participant, you should have received an email notification.
I didn't.
Happy new year.

First thing I did was to check the spam folder. No email from you guys. Anyway, it's all good. I just don't want anybody pressing me to make a purchase since after all, I did not recieve any email.
Posted by: DontCrack Dec 27 2011, 10:01 PM
Hi lodmalm,
That is surprising ! We will investigate...
Don't rush into it
Thanks - Peter

So I can just use that Code to buy the plugins I need?

Posted by: FrankT Dec 29 2011, 10:37 PM
if you go for the 64bit plugins / Ilok2: go to your iLok account and install the licences to the iLok2 AND after that install the latest Pace drivers! Only then install the plugs!

Thank you for this great chance.
I'm very interested in Three connect, but they're not in an already listed bundle. I am interested by : Characteristics Inflator and Modulator. The actual addition bill of 3 it's more costly than somebody package deal. is it feasible for Sonnox in order to suggest different combos ?
Thanks as well as goodbye
