Sibelius can open and save as Sibelius 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7.5, 8 and Ultimate files. Is Sibelius Ultimate compatible with earlier versions of Sibelius? There is also the 'subscription' way of accessing Sibelius Ultimate and this is another way to get Sibelius Ultimate with a lower initial investment - the 'subscription version' comes in a physical box. The 'boxed version' is identical to the 'download version' (both perpetual licenses) - the 'boxed version' comes with a download card (you still have to download Sibelius Ultimate) in its (physical) fancy box and the 'download version' has the download card supplied via email (and does not come in a box). Should I buy the boxed version, download version or subscription? Sibelius Ultimate Academic can be installed on 2 computers/macs within the same household as long as they are not used simultaneously. How many computers/macs can I use Sibelius Ultimate Academic on?
