Answer from Sweetwater :

Hey Ralf,

This Product includes a perpetual license for Studio One Pro 7, along with a 6-mo. subscription to every software title PreSonus makes. Once the 6 month subscription is over, you can still use Studio One 7, but you will not have access to every plug-in from the PreSonus Catalog.

Hope this helps!

Can we trust them?

I am not sure this is true. From what I understand Studio One Pro 7 Perpetual includes every plugin. From the Presonus website:

“Beginning with Studio One Pro 7, perpetual license purchases now, and into the future, will include all Studio One Pro extensions and virtual instruments. This means you’ll own extensions like Audio Batch Converter, Presence XT Editor, and any new extensions released within the included one (1) year of new feature releases. You’ll also own all Studio One Pro virtual instruments and instrument soundsets including the new Deep Flight One and Deep Flight One Soundset, Lead Architect, PreSonus Symphonic Orchestra, and all Presence XT Soundsets, plus any new virtual instruments released within the included one (1) year of new feature releases.”

I think the difference between the 6-mo. subscription and buying Perpetual now is six months. That is the 6-mo. sub gets you six months of updates, whereas buying Perpetual gets you a year. The 6-mo sub also gets you six months access to collaboration tools and learning videos and loops and samples.

This also is from the Presonus website:

“Our Annual+ plan is still the best value at $179.99 USD per year, giving new users a 10% savings on the price of a Studio One Pro perpetual license while providing the same full year of new feature releases for your license—plus annual access to all the cloud-based tools, content, loops, and samples available with Studio One Pro+.”

My take on this is that the 6-mo sub does that same thing as the Annual+ plan. At least the Sweetwater text indicates this:

“This version of Studio One Pro 7 includes a 6-month subscription to PreSonus Studio One+, granting you access to every software title PreSonus makes, including its Studio One Pro and Notion scoring applications, a complete collection of virtual instruments, a massive content library, and more. Plus, once your subscription ends, you’re not left empty-handed — you get to keep the perpetual license to Studio One Pro 7. In short, if you’re looking for everything you need to create, produce, polish, publish, and collaborate, then Studio One+ will be a plus for you!”

This would be a clever signature if I could think of one.
