For anyone who ordered thru OPT can you confirm that you had to pay extra for Sky-X and the T-Point and Camera add ons? Checking on their website it seems these are not included whereas direct from SB they are. Is there any other difference in the inclusions/accessories?
Thanks
Kim

Hi Kim,

I ordered through OPT and I am expecting the software as its in the ad from Software Bisque what you get with a PMX. I'll double check but I am fully expecting the software.

Did others ordering through OPT get the software?

Greg.

It will be included 100%.

The software is bundled into The SkyX CD you get with it. Its not mentioned but the card that comes with scope has licence keys for these add ons as well as The Sky X

Absolutely, no matter who you purchase your mount from, you should receive license keys for all the same software as you would if you purchased your mount directly from Software Bisque. In fact, you have ALL the same rights and entitlements having purchased your mount from a dealer as you do if you had purchased your mount directly from Software Bisque. Once you have received your mount, go directly to the Software Bisque support forum on the Software Bisque website for support. It's a very good support forum and in any case, that's where they handle all their support.

When you get your Paramount MX, be sure to register ALL your license keys on the Software Bisque website. You'll then be allowed to download updates. Also download that firmware update and flash your mount if it's one of the few that came with original firmware.

I really don't understand why Software Bisque doesn't give Paramount ME and MX purchasers a Universal Subscription and call it a day. With a Universal Subscription you have one license key that activates (almost) all their software both current and legacy. It's much easier that way. It may even be less expensive in yearly subscription fees (but I don't know about that).
