While the Waves Update Plan is a cost-effective, efficient way to receive all updates, new features, and additional plug-ins, in some cases you may want to consider upgrading your bundle/s to a bigger bundle. All upgrades include one full year of Waves Update Plan. Waves offer a wide range of upgrades, and you might find it preferable to upgrade your bundle rather than renew its Waves Update Plan, especially if you have multiple bundles. Instead of purchasing Waves Update Plan for each of them separately, you may upgrade them into one bigger bundle, and receive Waves Update Plan coverage at the same time. Also, when it comes time to renew your Waves Update Plan, you’ll only have one product to renew.

All Waves upgrades can be purchased through your Waves account, (click the Upgrade link next to one of your products), or through your local dealer. Contact Waves Sales Team today to receive information on your upgrade options.
