If you purchase a 'Standalone' version of Sibelius UltimateВ Site License then you do not need to 'check out' users, you can simply use 1 out of every 5 users for teachers laptops for lesson preparation use at home, etc. You can check out 1 out of every 5 users, so for example if you had 20 users you could 'check out' upto 4 users and if you decided to check out 3 users (out of your 20) this would leave you with 17 users on your school, etc network license. Every 12 months you will need to re-check-out the license.

When you 'check out' a user it creates a 'standalone' temporary license valid for 12 months so that you can install Sibelius UltimateВ onto a teachers laptop so that they can use Sibelius UltimateВ at home when they are not connected to the network at school, etc. If you purchase a 'Networked' version of Sibelius UltimateВ Site License then you can 'check out' users. Can I teachers install Sibelius UltimateВ on their laptops for lesson preparation at home, etc? Sibelius Ultimate can also open and save Sibelius First files (Sibelius First is a cut down version of Sibelius). In Sibelius Ultimate you can open and save as Sibelius 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7.5 & 8 files so your students can open and save at school and at home. My students have earlier versions of Sibelius at home - is Sibelius Ultimate compatible?

Please also supply us with your existing Sibelius Serial Number(s). When you upgrade to Sibelius Ultimate you can choose to change your license from standalone to networked or vice versa at no extra charge - please just order the upgrade license type (networked or standalone) you would like and we will sort the rest out. I want to upgrade to Sibelius Ultimate - can I change my license from 'standalone' to 'networked' or vice versa? The 'networked' license allows you to purchase say 30 users and you can install Sibelius on '100 computers/macs', however your server (where the Sibelius UltimateВ license is installed) will only allow 30 machines to open Sibelius simultaneously. The 'standalone' license allows you to purchase say 30 users and then you can install it on '30 computers/macs' and you can only use Sibelius UltimateВ on these machines. When you purchase your Sibelius Ultimate Site License you can either choose a вЂstandaloneвЂ™ or вЂnetworkedвЂ™ license. I have created an iPad control surface I call вЂSibelius WizardвЂ™ to speed up things like common text entry and to get round the fact that I was using so many shortcuts that unless I accessed them regularly, I kept forgetting what they were.Whats is the difference Standalone or Networked license? Microsoft made a lengthy tutorial explaining why they had to resort to a ribbon in order to accommodate all the features in labyrinthine menus, although they did still keep those вЂ“ as youвЂ™re suggesting should have happened for Sibelius 6>7. I canвЂ™t see them abandoning the ribbon, anymore than Microsoft have. From my perspective, Sibelius 7 represents the way Sibelius should have been designed in the first place, and I very much wonder whether if it had been, and Sibelius 6 had been introduced as its upgrade, whether or not the rebellion would have been just as intense. If youвЂ™re lightning fast with the shortcuts, then you mightnвЂ™t notice such a difference between 6 and 7, moreover the Ribbon can be hidden and shown with a single keystroke. IвЂ™ll settle for magnetic lines and dynamic parts that can accurately separate voices. Alas, it looks like thatвЂ™s not going to happen. Many of us were hoping for some kind of retro вЂњchoose classic interfaceвЂќ option so that we didnвЂ™t have to deal with the ribbon interface of version 7. IвЂ™m still using version 6, and I am lightning fast with keyboard shortcuts. The вЂњdraw on all stavesвЂќ is a nice touch. IвЂ™m sure many people laughed about the tuplets, they still havenвЂ™t fixed it! (Although I appreciate the progress they made). While they have made numerous other improvements (64 bit, XML import/export etc), they donвЂ™t seem willing to fix the notation problems that still exist. Sibelius has made little attempt to improve the engraving since version 6. RothmanвЂ™s opinion: вЂњOn the other hand, if youвЂ™re concerned primarily with engraving, and are lightning fast with your keyboard shortcuts to navigate around the score already, you can skip the upgradeвЂќ. As a longtime Sibelius user itвЂ™s what I expected, especially Mr. Thanks for the info and the excellent review by Mr.
