AVID TECHNOLOGY, INC. Sibelius 8.1 upgrade is now available for the world's best-selling music notation software. Let's take a look at this release to see what's new.
When Sibelius 8 shipped in June 2015 we added new features, including Annotation and Surface Pro pen support, as well as new purchase and subscribe options that included All Access plans and enhanced support.
In the past, we released major upgrades for a fee, 12 to 24 months apart. With this new model, we provide new features on a more frequent basis. Sibelius can now be purchased as monthly and annual subscription options, or as a perpetual license, offering customers more choice in how they acquire the latest version of the software. Sibelius 8 perpetual license includes an All Access plan with a year of free upgrades. Subscription also includes an All Access plan so customers always have access to the latest version of the software while their subscription is active.
This means anyone currently on Sibelius 8, including Sibelius for Education 8, will be able to download the software update from their Avid Master Account or from the Avid App Manager. Customers on Sibelius version 1 through 7.5 can upgrade for only $89.
