Edit: So I went to Big Al's page to check him out to see if I really want to get him and I saw the thing that said about how V2 will be retired after March 31st 2016, but I was still a little confused by it. It was worded weirdly to me, so I'm not sure I interpreted it correctly. I interpreted it as V2s can still be purchased and registered up until March 31st 2016, and then after that no new V2 activation codes will be distributed. Is that interpretation correct or not? And what does that mean about acquiring V3/V4 activation codes for V2 voicebanks and importing them into V3/V4? Can that still be done after March 31st 2016? And what about if someone has an activation code for a V2 voicebank from before March 31st 2016 but hasn't used it yet, and then tries to redeem it after March 31st 2016? (Just curious on that last one.) There is more info being discussed on VO about what is going on. V2 isn't completely being retired as per such, as in disappearing, but things about it are drawing to a end. I don't have a VO account. OTL  I don't like that website's layout. It doesn't look very good to me and it seems like it's hard to navigate. Can someone please just tell me here?

I still need to know if I have to deactivate my voicebanks before updating to Windows 10. Also, I think I read somewhere that voicebanks need to be installed in general chronological order. Is that true? Would I have to uninstall Avanna, Dex, and Daina before I install Big Al? No you don't need to deactivate your voicebanks before updating to Windows 10, unless you're actually changing computers. THEN you need to deactivate them and reinstall. And you only need to install V2s in order. V3 and V4 voicebanks do not have this issue and like Angel V2 is not being retired. YAMAHA is only retiring the V2 Import tool and even then, companies are stepping forward saying that they'll provide their own codes so you don't need to freak out just yet~
