How to get current with Sibelius
Every new Sibelius license comes with access to the latest software updates included for a period of time. We release new features and improvements fairly regularly (every month or so), and you get these as part of your initial purchase.
If you have a subscription license, you will get these updates included at no additional cost.
If you have a perpetual license, you receive 1 year of updates and other benefits included when you first purchase the license. This upgrade plan is renewable each year.
To check for which type of license you own—and when your upgrade plan renews—head over to your Avid Account to view your products.
Some of the benefits of staying current include:
- Access to future updates and features for the next year, so you not only upgrade to the latest version, you stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in Sibelius across all devices
- Features on Sibelius for mobile, across iPhone, iPad, Android and Chromebook devices.
- Sibelius Cloud Sharing to share music online with others
- Access to assisted technical support via phone and email
Whether your Upgrade Plan is active, expired, or you’re returning after several years, you can get current at any time for a flat rate:
* $49 for Sibelius Artist
* $99 for Sibelius Ultimate
For Sibelius Ultimate, you have two options to upgrade—one that gives you 1 year of updates and support, and another cost-effective option that gives you 3 years.
For Sibelius Artist, you have only the 1-year option, which provides updates.
If you have an older version of Sibelius, see this handy guide to find the right upgrade for you.
If you need help upgrading, you can create a case with the support team and request a call-back. This team has excellent knowledge of the licensing and registration process and has tools to remotely diagnose issues to help you get up and running.
Once you’re up to date again, please spend a while checking out all the great things that have been released in Sibelius since you last updated your software.
Happy scoring!
