New to EQ--Is EQ7 worth $70 more than EQ6
#11
I would always stick with the latest and greatest in software. I find that 6 and 7 are equally easy to use, and the activation/deactivation policy is better for EQ7. Plus when 8 comes out (and it will) you will get a better deal updating from 7 to 8 than from 6 to 8.

I have EQ6. I purchased it used and the seller filled out a form with EQ to transfer the license to me. I purchased it with 3 activations. I thought I read that there were initially 4 and assumed that the first owner used up 1. I contacted EQ and, after loading it to my PC, they told me that I have 2 left.
For me, price was the decider. I was able to get it for 1/3rd the price of EQ7 and if I want to upgrade, will still be ahead of the game dollar-wise.
You might want to try to find it used and then make your decision on which version to got with. I was lucky that the original owner knew to transfer the license as I would have had no clue about that and my purchase could have been worthless.

I have EQ7 and love it. I would buy the newest version as it will be supported longer and probably updated more. Enjoy!! It is like anything else just use it and it will become easier. The book that comes with it is great & explains everything. I had a question and emailed them and got an answer the next day.

If I were to buy today I'd get EQ7 knowing it would be supported that much longer.

Now you all have me curious as to what is meant by these EQ programs being supported, such as newer being supported longer. Can anyone explain what this means, please? Are there some sort of limitations on the time in which one can use the EQ programs?
