I have Eq 5 and it works wonderful. I have designed in it and everything. I also have eq 4 and it also works good. I guess it's what you want to do in these programs. Both 4 and 5 are the complete programs and you don't have the activation deal and I love that as I change computers and sometimes I reformat etc.
I emailed about eq7, I wouldn't want any upgrades. I would want EQ7 by itself. EQ7 is 150.00 if you have eq 5...I wouldn't mind letting go of 4 and 5. they both have all the books etc. I wonder if there is a great differece between them. I guess if you are just beginning, 4 and 5 would be just as good.
