Is there anyway to download only the upgrade everythingPAK with the additional items only? Cause 90GB is too big and there is no need since 2014 version already have most of them

I think they are separate downloads not one big one file.

Hi ahfei,

My experience is that the upgrade from UltraPlusPak to UltraPlusPak is around 10 GB depending on how much new material is present. I'd imagine that upgrading EverythingPak2014 to EP205 would be around the same.

Why not email sales@pgmusic.com and ask?

Regards,
Noel

Hi ahfei,

If you are referring to the below comparison between BIAB 2014 and 2015 ...



Then what Andrew listed will provide all those. I imagine that some of the items are also included in the bonus paks since Andrew mentioned these also.

ahfei,

Please keep in mind that I am not a PG Music representative. I'm just a user like you.

As I understand it, the PlusPak is especially put together for those users who have the EverythingPak or the UltraPlusPak from the preceding year and it lets the user get everything that is new in the upgrade. Thus, if you have the EverythingPak 2014, the PlusPak should give you everything you need to get all the new stuff (either as a download or on DVDs)

The $159 package is the one that comes with the USB hard drive and it's the full installation.

I suggest you double-check this with PG Music sales staff.

Regards,
Noel

If you have a look under the "Support" link at the top of the webpage, there's also a link to "Live Chat". This is a very efficient way of dealing directly with PG Music. There are also some toll-free phone numbers listed.
