I've just downloaded Max 8, as I've been meaning to check it out, and it appears increasingly that Max 7 isn't fully compatible with new Macs.

The issue is: I'm still undecided whether to spend the upgrade and want to try it out. It appears that I can't demo it, though: is there any way that existing users of Max 7 get the trial, or is it only new customers? I'm sure when I upgraded to 7 from 6 I was able to assess it for a while first.

Anyone managed to do this? It doesn't appear to be an option for me when I go to the Max authorisation window.

Once I open it I can't authorise the trial: my only option seems to be to buy the upgrade.

Max 8 trial not available for pre-existing customers?
