i have Filter Forge 7.0 for Mac and 8.0 for Windows. Is there a way to get an upgrade rather than buy the whole program again? Same question for Dogwaffle...

    I use FF, and unfortunately I don't think so... you can probably reach out to them on their site and ask, though.  I had an older version, as well, and my license didn't work for the new version and I decided to move to the subscription plan.  I'm one of the few that prefers that option, though, so I didn't really try to get an upgrade or anything.  If you go to their site you can send the CS team a message in the "Contact Us" tab at the top...

    Maybe buy it direct from the developer? https://filterforge.com/buy/upgrades.html

    You can still upgrade version 8 of Filter Forge to version 9 on their website:  https://filterforge.com/buy/upgrades.html. There is also an upgrade from version 7 but the cost of that is more than buying the complete version from DAZ.

    Note also: If you use today's MY-FLASH coupon to buy Filter Forge here  it is a better price ($40) than buying any of the upgrades.

    Yeah, it’s $65 on sale to upgrade on their site. It’s cheaper to wait till there’s another sale here and buy a whole new version. I was hoping Daz offered a discounted upgrade, but I guess not...

    Do you have an account on the Filter Forge site with a registration for your version 8? If so you may sometime get a better offer from them by email. Every once in awhile they put out special offers. Awhile ago I was able to get the version 9 pro upgrade (from version 8) together with free librarian 9 and Libray backup 9 , all for $54

    If you like Filter Forge, you should check their site for sales... on occasion they'll have a sale for the lifetime upgrade... having been a longtime customer (from probably around version 3), so I decided it was probably a good idea to do... I think I got it at around version 7, for around $170 (?) for the professional version lifetime upgrade.

    I don't know if they still do it, because I stopped following the sales, but I still do frequently see 80% or 70% off sales...

    Also I don't know if the upgrade discounts count if you didn't buy it from their site.

    EDITED TO ADD- I checked their site, and they don't have any big sale at the moment, and apparently they renamed the lifetime upgrade version to "Professional Plus".

    The best route to go is to register your FF product on the web site so that you received their emails.  The best upgrade offers are via the emails - not the web site.  The best email offer that I've seen (several times this year) for an upgrade from FF 8 to FF 9 is $44 and $149 for the lifetime upgrade.  FF10 is coming out soon - likely, later this year.

    I agree. The best offer I have seen is the email one I got in July to upgrade from FF 8 to FF9 and get Librarian with Library Backup free -- all for $54. That's the one  I went for..

    I had considered the Lifetime upgrade on sale for $149 but i didn't buy it because with each upgrade I have to buy a new version of Librarian with Library Backup for $69 in order to keep using Librarian. Plus at my age I might not live long enough to go through but one or two more upgrades.

    Dogwaffle can be ordered direct from thebest3d.com . They have upgrade discounts, but you may need to email them to request a discount coupon code.
