Hi, I have 2017 Band-in-a-Box Pro with RealBand (BBP-I) and Band-in-a-Box UltraPlusPAK Upgrade with RealBand (BUUR-I) and my upgrade options list both:
Band-in-a-Box® 2020 Pro upgrade from 2018 or earlier, or crossgrade Band-in-a-Box® 2020 UltraPAK+ upgrade from 2018 or earlier, or crossgrade
...so can I just upgrade to 2020 Pro and keep the 2017 UltraPlusPak (or are they not compatible), or do I have to upgrade to UltraPak+ to keep all features? What are the benefits of either approach, I'm a little confused!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! CreativeLemming, firstly, welcome. The contents of the highest pak you currently have should still work with your 2020 Upgrade. However, consider contacting PG Music Support via their Live Help Chat, or via their email to get the absolute best advice.

the program changes from year to year. the number of Realtracks goes up too. the cheapest upgrade that gives you everything is to upgrade last year's ultrapack to this year's ultrapack. you don't have last year's ultrapack.
simply upgrading the program won't 'lose' your existing RealTracks but you won't get the new RealTracks you've missed in the intervening years.
upgrading to ultrapack gets you everything PG sell (apart from odd bonuses), upgrade to pro preserves what you've got and gives you the program improvements only.
up to you but the new RealTracks added in the past few years are amazing.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
