Buying a used S4, software issues.
Posted on: 12.02.2012 by Earleen Alpine
Hi all!


I am in the market for an S4, but since i am a starving artist, i have a hard time coming up with the cash. Naturally i'm considering buying the S4 used.

There is one concern i have though. A buddy of mine bought a used traktor scratch duo set, and when he tried to install the software it was registered to the previous user, and would

i bought a used s4 a while back the seller gave me a printout from the ni website showing that he had unregistered his software

Yeah man like ^ said try all you can to make sure the software was deregistered and good to go.

Also know that NI offers full versions of their software with the purchase of most of their hardware. So, for example, if the new F1 is something you believe might suite you know that you'll be getting a full copy of the software with that purchase which in turn allows you to not worry about/badger the shit out of the S4 seller as you're "unsure" about software deregistration and don't want to get screwed.

I'd say if you're a good badger you should be able to get the S4 for around $400-500, then spend the additional $300 on the F1, get the latest and greatest software and you're still $100 under what a S4 sells for new.

You just have to make sure before you buy it, that the previous owner has unregistered it.
