Hi all, this is my first post , I've just bought a second hand Korg Legacy Collection with controller from ebay, I want to install the software into my Intel Macbook but the software version is v1.1, it only compatible on Intel Macs if the software version is 1.2.1, in order to download version 1.2 I need to be a registered user, but the problem is the guy which I bought the Korg Legacy from wasn't the registered user, Can I re-register the Korg Legacy Collection as a different user to start over the upgrade again?

Thanks is advance
Todd.

I heard the registration for Korg Legacy software is non-transferable.

Confused

It is indeed non-transferable. The first buyer owns it for life. Korg will not re-register it to anyone else. Sounds like you bought it third-hand from someone who wasn't able to re-register it either. Look for your money back.

Although I don't use it as anything but a display item myself, I understand that the controller can be used as is with pretty much any VI. But don't quote me on that because you might need to install a driver for it.

Kind regards.

If you buy a new copy of Analog Edition 2007, the original MS-20 controller should work with it just fine.

Kind regards.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that you're out of luck with this transaction. Korg will not honour a transfer of the license for one simple, but very good, reason: it's a non-transferable license. This is almost certainly something that the original owner knew and that the second-hand dealer SHOULD have known.

Your best hope is to try to get your money back from the dealer.

With regard to second-hand software, my advice would be: always contact the developers and ask if they allow license transfers before you enter the auction/sale.

Personally, I don't buy second-hand software because there are too many rip'n'run artists out there and I'd rather directly support the people who do the work – the developers.

For what it's worth, you have my sympathies.

Kind regards.
