Not too sure. I wrongly assumed upgrading from pro HH1 to HH2 was covered with old license (because clicking on activate with forum details gives a positive alert). Another thread clarified the latest upgrade model.

This is a whole bitter-sweet thing for me.... I love the program. It's helped massively change my thinking and has lately inspired some very cool stuff... yet I invested in another daw not long ago, persuaded by lifetime-free updates, and patching program, intending not to upgrade to HH2, but migrate. This stems from a problem I reported on the 1st day of my license still persisting to the final HH1 64-bit build. The 32-bit build doesn't have the problem.

And trying both HH and HH2 on Win10 Tech Preview results in the GUI freezing. I think it's related to GFX drivers and my HannsG HT271, but other JUCE-based software, like the aforementioned DAW and everything else I've tried ran fine so this throws more doubt towards the upgrade decision. I'm in the middle of a multi-platform re-config so I can't test the latest revisions (65+) til I'm done.

It should be a complete no-brainer for the price, but I'm not overly confident through not yet knowing the cause of my day 1 complaint, or the way it was handled.

Saying that, I may have jumped the gun after just noticing a certain detail on my account page. Is the expiration date an error? It seems to have been modified recently.

i don't have made any changes on your license, your buy last one in 04/2014, valid for 1 year

about the graphic driver, you have create a bug report ticket without answer..?

For what it's worth, I finally got to spend a few quality hours with version 2 today an so far I'm really happy with it. I haven't even dug in to the newer features much yet but already the workflow just clicks in a way that version 1 didn't quite. I wish I could be more specific, but it's the sum of a ton o little changes that take it from being a really interesting sound design tool to something I could easily see being the heart of my production workflow. Not long after I bought Hollyhock 1 I got a pretty lucrative freelance gig for about a year and switched over to an almost completely hardware based setup, but this just might lure me back to software. I tried playing around with stuff building on samples taken from the hardware rig I put together and it was cmpelling but didn't quite work for me, but going back and trying the same thing with version 2 felt like I was opening the door to a whole different phase of what I have already been doing, in a way that version 1 didn't quite.

Again, sorry to be so vague but I can't really put my finger on anything specific that is making it so much better for me than version 1, but it is. It feels far more mature and I can't recommend it highly enough.

And I haven't even started to really seriously explore the new grid yet.
