Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, a Mac OS X version is currently in the planning stage and will eventually be available. While we cannot say at present when this will be, you’ll find an announcement on the homepage when its release is imminent, so please check back from time to time.

A simple PC microphone is fine to get started. For much better results, we recommend a USB condenser mic (such as the Samson GoMic, or the Samson C03U). For more details please look at our microphone guide.

The trial period starts when you install any of the trial versions. All Editions (Live, Standard, Premium) can be installed in parallel. However, they will also expire at the same time. For example, if you install the Live version and use it for 30 days, after that all trial versions will be expired.

Please write to us for an extension of your trial period.

Yes. The software is licensed per user, so if you are the only user, you may install it on multiple computers.

No. Analogous to a book that can be read only by a single person at a time, a software installed on a single computer can only be used by one person at a time. Therefore you only need a single license for that computer.
However, if you want to install the software on multiple computers that are used by different people at the same time, you do need a multi-user license.

After your order you will gain access to the subscriber download section of this website, where you can download the current full version as often as you like.

This will soon be available at a slight additional cost. However, bear in mind that Overtone Analyzer is frequently updated, so you will likely download updated versions soon after you bought your CD.

Yes, this is possible at any time. For example, you can upgrade your license for Overtone Analyzer Live to the Standard or Premium Edition. The cost for this is the price difference between the two editions plus an additional 10 Euro for the extra processing. Please write to us if you would like to upgrade your existing license.

If you buy a license for Overtone Analyzer, you will get free updates for one year from the date of purchase. After the initial 12 months, an additional year of getting updates can be bought for 40% of the retail price.

No. You can simply install newer versions over older ones, and there is no need to first remove the existing installation. In fact, you will normally keep all your settings if you do it that way.

This is your personal license key file that is needed for the full version of Overtone Analyzer. Simply save it in the same folder where you have saved the setup program and then run the setup. It will then ask you for the license key file.

This is most likely your virus scanner blocking the correct installation. Please disable your virus scanner and try installing Overtone Analyzer again. You can turn the virus scanner back on after the installation.

Most likely not. We take great care to ensure that our software is clean. However, from time to time some virus scanners report a false positive. If this happens, please let us know and we will contact the vendor of the virus scanner to update their database.

Please also make sure that your downloaded setup program for Overtone Analyzer is digitally signed by us and came from this website. If in doubt, please let us know where you downloaded the file so that we can verify it.
