Q: Will I still be able to use MDW EQ V3 if I upgrade? For instance, say I have a TDM system with V3 installed. Will I be able to use the V5 iLok license to run the old version of the plug-in?
A: Please contact MDW for further information.
Q: Will I still be able to use MDW EQ V3 if I upgrade? For instance, say I have a TDM system with V3 installed. Will I be able to use the V6 iLok license to run the old version of the plug-in?
A: There will be no support for TDM system hence there is no upgrade path from V3, 2 and 1 to MDWEQ6. See the upgrade chart below. However, if you purchase a full perpetual license of MDWEQ6-AAX+ or MDWEQ6-Native+, you will not need to surrender your previous version of MDWEQ license and may be able to run it on TDM system.
