Hi guys,

Ever since I updated my MPC Live 2 from 3.4.3 to 3.5, on the Live 2, it now tells me every time I power on the device that there are updates. And when I go to where it tells me below on the MPC itself, there are no updates. What gives?????

"New plugin instruments available.
You must first download and install their content files.

Open preferences, and select the 'Activations' tab.
You can download content files for each plugin there."

This happens almost every update. Just tick the box to not show again. It pops up even if there are no new instruments.
