Something else to consider. While the earlier versions would likely work, I doubt EQ has updated them or still offers much in the way of support, given that's pretty much SOP for software developers. You might contact EQ and explain what you've got and see if they would honor the $179 upgrade fee from 6 to 8, which wold be better than the $235 fee. I noticed the other day they offered 25 percent off the software. I bought it for my wife and while she's slowly working her way around it, I decided to play with it and found that it's a fun way to pass the time while in isolation.
