Probably a stupid question (I have no shortage of those) but is it possible to purchase older versions of Band In A Box?

I was using version 10 until my computer crashed, now it's back online but the program just won't work anymore. My only option seems to be to repurchase the software, but at the moment I couldn't even afford the basic 2019 version.

So, is it possible to purchase older versions? Or am I just going to have to scrimp and save?

I think if you have a registered version you should be able to log into your account and download it. Go to the pgmusic.com web site log in then go to My Account - My Products and download what you have purchased.

Do you have an account with PG Music? If so, contact them via the support page, and see if they can give you a link to your original version download.

Regardless, I think they will be the ones to assist you to recover better than us forum members.

Assuming you legitimately purchased and registered any version, PG will likely treat you right.

Hi

Version 10 is from cica 2001
So lets hope you registered it, or that it is in your purchase history on your account if bought from PG.
If you purchased from a third party then you should likely have a boxed version with enclosed installation media on disc or cd
even so if you registered it with PG I'm sure they can help.

Were you ever on PG Music's mailing list or ever purchased any product directly from PG Music? It's possible the third party you purchased from may have registered the sale with PG Music for you. PG Music keeps pretty good records on customers and potential customers. If you had any relationship with the company they likely can identify the sale.

As others have stated, you need to contact the PG Music sales department.

Good luck.

If you bought the software from PG Music originally, you will be on their books. It would still be worthwhile contacting them.

As others have said - if you bought direct from PG they will have your records and will be able to help you get the software. BUT, as somebody who has recently upgraded from 2007 to 2019, I would highly recommend the upgrade to the latest version.

I bought version 10 from a third party, and unfortunately, I never got around to registering the product. I have since lost the original installation disc.

Looks like I'll be without the program until I can afford an upgrade.

I don't think version 10, or 2010 required registration. I believe 2017 was the first.

Well there is a lesson there if you want support buy from PG or a reputable reseller and register the purchase.

I notice you only joined a couple of weeks ago. If you came here hoping some one would give you a copy of an old version I am afraid you have come to the wrong place. Members here would not get involved in any illegal transfer of pg products.

If you own a PG music product then you can upgrade at a special price this means your licence is for the new product only, not the new and old version (my understanding)

So the only person that would have a transferable product (with help from PG),
would be someone who had bought all their products as a first time buyer at full price and not subsequently upgraded them. They would hold a full licence for each product.
You wont find many folk that spend that sort of money, most go the upgrade route

So you can see there is not much chance of some one giving you one unless they have an original full licensed version, that has not been used as the basis for an upgrade.

Just my thoughts
Mike

At no point did I ask for anyone to provide me with a free copy of the software, and I'm quite offended by the accusation that my intention was to acquire an illegal copy.

I am strongly against piracy of any kind and never steal any kind of media. If I'm unable to get something, I go without.

Hi blush
Let me apologise you seem to have misunderstood my post.

I did not accuse you of anything I said “if you came …..”
And then went on to explain why that would be difficult anyway if a person had a copy that was part of an upgrade chain.

The written word can often seem a bit harsh at times, but please don’t take my post as an attack on your integrity, this is not my way, and certainly not my intention.
Best Regards
Mike

As mentioned a few times, calling PGMusic may surprise you.
They are pretty good at satisfying customer situations, even if the 'proof' of prior purchase may be hard to find.

Probably worth your effort to make the call, may save some $$.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Yep, that's still my recommendation.

I have spoken to PG Music, but because I bought the software from a third party never registered the product, there's nothing they can do to help me.

Sorry to hear that Jack.

If you have an opportunity to save up a few dollars, you will be amazed at the features in the latest version.

Also, there may be some discounted sale offers available in December, so it's worth keeping that in mind.
