If you buy it outright or annual license and after the first year do not renew the SONGUARD license although you can’t add new songs to it are your prior songs submitted under license still maintained under the SONGUARD environment and is a submitter able to access that info that was previously submitted if needed?.
If in the second year you don’t renew the annual license can you use SONGUARD separately if you pay the $30 registration\license fee?.Do both the Annual License or Buy It licensing deals include the first year of SONGUARD?.I am very much interested in purchasing but do have some questions. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns or if you need any additional assistance. Waiting for follow-up to additional questions:Ģ) No, Songuard can never be used seperately from MasterWriterģ) Yes, any thing submitted to Songuard will be kept on record by us permanently.Ĥ) Yes, bug fixes and updates are always free, upgrades are very rare, we have none planned currently and if we did release one there would definitely be an upgrade path. To get definitive answers, why not send an email to them and ask. I think it's just the way they are currently doing business. I had some trouble with MW back in the beginning and I was working with several guys in tech support on getting it resolved for the better part of several weeks.maybe they felt sorry for me and set me up with SG & updates for life but I'm guessing probably not. It would still be cheaper than the USLOC.
I would pay it if it was, since it is so much cheaper than copyrighting every song I write. When I first started with them, I also was thinking that SG was an annual subscription and one day it might be. I copyright everything I do and work on with co-writers since it's all there and included. I understand that it's now $200 straight up. At the time, MW was $300 and I was able to get it through a BMI discount. That was more then 3 years ago and SG continues to work AND I get free updates from them all the time. I bought it with a one time payment and license. I have MW and use Songuard (SG) all the time. Thanks, and I being this was related to writing songs and lyrics and copyrights I hope this was the right forum to post. Conversely, if you buy the package instead of annuial license do you get permanent access to SONGUARD?ĭoes the annual plan ($199 currently) include fixes and incremental updates but just not full releases? Sounds like it based on what little I had time to read but I am going back to their site after this.Īre there are places besides direct to purchase it at any type of savings? I looked around but the best I found was $184. If you get the Annual I would assume at the end of the period you no longer have access to SONGUARD but your songs will still be registered with the 3rd party.
Both come with SONGUARD for registration of songs. Annual license has updates provided but the purchase plan does not. They have an annual license plan $99 as well as purchasing the product $199.
I did some searching here and not wanting to revisit an old thread or hi-jack it wanted to ask some of those using MasterWriter a couple of questions.
