Download and install, after a while, went ok. Opens standalone and as a plugin. Copied the serial number from my account at PIB and pasted it in the registration field…no bueno…does not recognize it…so no install…remains a 14 day trial…this upgrade is really going very well…Cheers!../Steve~

Did you purchase from Plugin Boutique? If so, you have to register on [scalermusic.com](http://scalermusic.com) and use the serial number they give you, not the one from PB.
