I had zero N/A styles with 2017 and just installed 2018 (build 505) with Xtra4 and 49 Bonus. They don't seem to be listed in any of the Xtra paks and I thought I had every style.

"Those styles have never actually been released, they were just included in the styles list by accident. So there's nothing to worry about, it sounds like everything's installed. These same ones were showing up in 2017 installations by the way, I'm not sure why you didn't see them until 2018." Tony

As long as you've ordered through the website, or registered a product using a purchased serial number, they should be available for download right now. They're available for Windows and Mac, and work with any 2017 or 2018 package. Just click on My Account at the top of our website, then My Products, and you should see them listed under "Available Downloads". Thanks Kent PG Music

Sounds like you need to update your Style Picker Yes, you not just install the things, you need to also go into the program and basically inform it that you installed the things. And that's where updating the Style Picker comes into it. Last edited by Icelander; 02/08/18 01:36 PM.

You simply haven't installed them yet. Last edited by Icelander; 02/08/18 02:20 PM.

I thought I was buying everything available yet I have 655 N/A styles? Is there more I need to buy or did I not install everything? Go to the main PGMusic.com website (separate from the forums). Log into your account using the login button in top right. This is where you can register your license and find the download links. When I log in (after registering my Ser #) I get a ton of download links including Xtra stuff. But at the top of the list currently is the "Registration Bonus" link. Stuff like this may be a one time offer. One of those things that in future years may be N/A .. but were only available for a short time. You likely have all the 'current' content, and are just missing historical stuff. Of course I could be wrong, and if so I hope someone says so and explains. The image below shows the available Registration Bonus link in My Account after clicking My Products.

So now I'm down to 645 N/A?????? Do I need to purchase 2016 and 2017 Xtra PAKs or should they have been included with my 2018 ultra pak?
