It would save you a lot of cost per user, which you could pass on to us, making the cost of the upgrade considerably cheaper, as well as being better for the environment.

Much software is available these days as "download only".

I can guess the response to that--the ultra plus pack, more than 100GB, would be an awful lot to download! Yes, it would be, but internet speeds are much faster than before.




This year, Elastique changed everything... not only the program that drives it all, but all the real tracks changed too. In other words, an older version of BIAB could not use the new real tracks... so EVERYTHING needed to be transferred. 5,000 people downloading all that at the same time would put a strain on any server. So in the case of a major upgrade (like 2011) it makes sense to use the USB drives

But for future releases when the real tracks don't all change, I can imagine a download-only upgrade option consisting of nothing but the new stuff (why re-download all the stuff you already have?)

It would be a nice reward for those who have faithfully upgraded and already have all the other stuff. Especially now that the RT file size has gotten smaller, a "DL version of only the new files" seems like a workable idea.
