Frequently asked questions regarding purchasing RNBO for institutions.
How much does RNBO cost for institutions? Do you offer bulk discounts?
The price for RNBO licenses depends on the quantity. We offer discounts for higher quantities.
Our bulk discounts are cumulative, not per order. For example, if you already own five permanent RNBO licenses, then decide to purchase five more RNBO licenses, that purchase would receive the discounted rate for 10-49 licenses, since your new total number of RNBO licenses would be 10. The total number (how many you already have + how many you wish to buy) determines which quantity rate you receive.
To see a full rundown of our quantity pricing, please refer to our Institutions Shop page.
Please note that RNBO is considered an add-on license to Max, which means that you must own a Max 8 (or later) license in order to use RNBO. The above Institutions Shop page offers pricing for both RNBO alone (if you already own Max 8 or 9), and Max + RNBO (if you do not already own Max 8 or 9).
How do I purchase institutional RNBO licenses?
First, check out our Institutions Shop page, which provides information on quantity pricing for RNBO and Max + RNBO. To request an official quote or invoice, you can either email us directly at sales@cycling74.com, or fill out the Sales Contact form on our website.
If you already own Max 8 or 9, you might want to purchase just RNBO to add on to your existing license(s). If you do not already own Max 8 or 9, then you will have to purchase Max + RNBO.
What is an add-on license?
RNBO is considered an add-on license because it cannot exist without a Max 8.5 (or later) license. RNBO is automatically bundled with Max 8.5 (or later), which allows you to use it in demo mode. However, in order to be able to save RNBO patches you must purchase a RNBO license.
Can RNBO be used with Max 9?
Yes! RNBO is compatible with Max 8.5 or later.
Can we add RNBO to already active Max subscription licenses?
Yes. If your institution already owns Max subscription licenses, you may purchase RNBO as an add-on to those licenses.
If you are already partway through your subscription, we will pro-rate RNBO. For example, if you are 3 months into your annual (12-month) Max subscription, you will only be charged for 9 months of RNBO. That way both Max and RNBO subscription licenses will expire at the same time.
To place an order or request a quote, you can either email us directly at sales@cycling74.com, or fill out the Sales Contact form on our website.
We own multiple Max licenses. How do we select a specific license to add RNBO to?
After purchasing an institutional RNBO license, our support staff will contact you within 24 hours to discuss how to authorize the license, and which Max license it should be tied to.
If you have an institutional account with us, the administrator on your account can sign in to our Admin Portal with their Cycling '74 user account. Once signed in, you will see a full list of your licenses, along with how each license is authorized. If there is a specific license you wish to add RNBO to, please let us know how that license is currently authorized, and in the case of activation codes, who the code is currently assigned to.
Can we add a subscription RNBO license to a full Max license?
No. When purchasing RNBO as an add-on license, the type of license must be identical to your Max license. If you own a full Max license, you can only add on a full RNBO license. If you own a Max subscription, you can only add on a RNBO subscription.
Can we add RNBO to a Max 7 (or earlier) license?
No. RNBO is only compatible with Max 8.5 or later. If you own a previous version of Max, you can upgrade to Max 9 and purchase a RNBO license.
Can we upgrade to Max 9 and purchase RNBO at the same time?
Yes. Our Institutions Shop page lists quantity pricing for both Max upgrade licenses, and RNBO licenses. If you would like to purchase an upgrade and RNBO at the same time, the price would be that for a Max 9 Upgrade + RNBO.
