looking to buy digital performer 4.6

Post by starbearer76 » Mon Mar 23, 2009 12:27 pm

so i got this computer that came with dp 4.6, but i need to replace the hard drive soon because its crapping out and even if i install the program from the old hard drive to the new one, i'll probably need the code to get it going again. i have no disc, or code, so i'd like to purchase digital performer 4.6, but its rarely seen on amazon or ebay. or... if there is someone who knows if i can use 4.6 files with dp 5? then i wouldn't mind purchasing dp 5 off of someone who's maybe upgrading to 6 and doesnt need 5 anymore?

i have paypal.

You can absolutely use DP 4 (and earlier) files with DP 5.
MOTU has always maintained backward compatibility. In other words, DP5 can open up files from earlier versions. However if you want to open a file from a new version on an older version of DP, you must use "save as" and save the file in the older format.
hope this helps,
peace

I'll check when I get home, but I think I actually have this and don't use it. Switched to PT a while ago.

Ok, I have DP4, book, installer disk and keycode. I'm not sure what would be involved in transferring the license, but let me know if you are interested.

Trick Fall,

If Starbearer76 doesn't take this off your hands, I'd be interested (especially if I can transfer the license).
