Hello Jonny,
Subscription licences are valid for all Hauptwerk versions from v5 onwards, so you don't need to do buy anything, or to do anything with respect to licensing or the iLok system -- your current subscription licence will work automatically with Hauptwerk v7.
You just need to download and install the v7 software from the main website (e.g. here:
https://www.hauptwerk.com/win/ ).
The main download server has been very heavily loaded recently, so if you have problems downloading from it then please send an email to
support [at] hauptwerk.com and Francois should be able to send you a download link from a different server.
The downloaded file's details should be as follows if the file has downloaded successfully:
Windows:
InstallHauptwerk_v7.0.0.136.exe
MD5 checksum: f96fc0ad4f74392e594d528df4231dc2
3.00 GB (3,229,062,512 bytes)
macOS:
InstallHauptwerk_v7.0.0.136.zip
MD5 checksum: bee6c282bf81464c1fa111bb162f6391
3.16 GB (3,396,476,577 bytes)
No settings, combinations, organs, or anything else should be lost if you run the v7 installer and just click through its screens, leaving all of the options at their defaults. (However, it's always good practice to use '
File | Backup ...' in your current version first, and save the resulting file somewhere safe, just in case of any unexpected problems.)
Best regards, Martin.
