V Collection 5

[Gpp]

Hello, I have purchased a few years ago the V Collection 5. Now I am trying to install it on my new Mac Mini (Os Big Sur), but unfortunately the activation of the software doesn't work. I really hope it doesn't happen because I need to buy the upgrade to v8. 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

You can find info about your OS and M1 cpu in the FAQ. Like this:

You might get issues with the Piano V, the Stage 73 piano and the Jupiter 8 V3 you own, as they all have had paid upgrades since VC5, and is'nt updated to run on Big Sur or with M1 CPU (ARM). You'll have to check, if you can use them somehow anyway. I think the remaining products in VC5 is updated for you too.
You can update the applications to the last version, if you install the last version of ASC.
You should be able to log into ASC. And in ASC you should also be able to activate the products, if you can see the products on your Arturia account under "My Products".

I'm on Windows, so i can't tell, if there is more to it.
