We have a lot of new product announcements to share, and we would have loved meeting you in person at NAB, but we know many of you will not be able to join us in person. 
 
So, we have decided to try out a new format this year, a more global approach that allows participation from the comfort and safety or your own home or office. During the week of NAB 2021, we will have a lot of online events in which you will be able to participate and interact with our team as if you were here in beautiful Las Vegas.

We are happy to say that we have been working on macOS High Sierra since a while and there is no known issue with the latest versions of our applications. If you want to upgrade, we recommend as usual to have a backup readily available so you can revert back just in case the upgrade does not go as smoothly as it has been for us. If you do so, and you are using a serial number, remember to deactivate your serial number before booting from a backup hard drive.

If you are using a dongle, make sure to update your Softron application to the latest version available from the downloads page (the ones released after September 10th, 2017) to ensure that your dongle license will be seen.

Price changes in January 2016 !

New UPRGRADE PRICES
 
When we released our various upgrades for OnTheAir Node, OnTheAir Video, OnTheAir Video Express, and MovieRecorder, we set different upgrade prices which were determined by the date when the license was purchased and the options acquired.  We also set an introductory upgrade price for OnTheAir CG.
 
On January 1, 2016, almost two years after the introduction of these upgrades, we are changing the requirements and the prices for the upgrades.  Instead of the various upgrade prices, the upgrade procedure and pricing are being streamlined. You will find the new upgrade prices at the bottom of each of the product's pages.
 
 
Temporary prices dropped
 
On January 1st, 2016, we will also change the temporary promotional price of OnTheAir Studio, as well as the temporary upgrade price from OnTheAir CG 1 to OnTheAir CG 3.
 
So now is a good time (before the end of the year) to upgrade if you still have old versions. Please note that we will no longer provide free support for older versions. Additionally, compared to these older versions, there are a number of things that have been greatly improved and new features added, so there are a lot of compelling reasons to upgrade !
