When checking m email today, I see an announcement that Steinberg is offering Cubase 10 for 50% off until June 2019 in celebration of their 30th anniversary. This deal doesn't apply to updates from previous versions for current users, though.
For me, I purchased Cubase 7.5 back in 2014 (ancient, I know) and was eligible for a free upgrade to 8.0, so I took it and have been using it since. Now I feel behind and have been VERY tempted to update to version 10. I saw that the update from my version to version 10 is $199.99 which obviously save a little bit of money, but for the cost of a cheap date, I can get the Full version. The question is, why? Is there some added benefit to buying a Full version opposed to updating your existing version? If I buy full version Cubase 10, does it run independently of my older version or does it replace it altogether?
