Probably. Cheapest I saw the one+ was 729€ from a polish shop which ships to Germany for free a couple of days ago. Now it’s 789€ most of the time. Man I am in the market for a one+ to take on the road. The key 61 would be a bit bulky to set up on the train :mrgreen:

Do the plugins stay in the account to download on other mpcs when I return this thing?
But it doesnt come with Mini D and juno anyway, does it?

Sellers need to fully let go of AND unregister the sold machine/sn from their accounts so buyers can have full control over the machines sn.

I don't think it works like that. When the new owner registers the hardware (with serial) then I believe they'll get their plugin licenses added to their account. At this point, in theory, the previous owner will lose those licenses (if they remain offline I suppose their MPC will never know this though).

I mean, this is in theory. I previously sold an MPC Ren and that Ren is still active in my account despite the new owner definitely re-registering. But that was on the old licensing system.

I thought if you paid for the plugs they get added to your account. So even if you unregistered the sn# from a device the plugs should remain in your account to be reused on the later on another device.

I thought we were talking about the plugin licences included with an MPC Key? With that you don't actually buy the licenses, they are included with and tied to the hardware. If you sell the hardware, I assume you lose the plugins completely.

Well now I'm wondering what really happens. I'm doubting everything.
I have 2 X's and Keys61. All same account and I don't care enough to create another account and see what happens.

Oh in that case I don't know, but there should be someway to keep/transfer those included plugins.
