Sounds not played

Mon Dec 2 20:34:44 UTC 2013

Francesco,

So far, PST has charged only for major upgrades, e.g., from any 
version of EP1 to EP2.  So, if you had a license for EP1, you could 
upgrade to any other version of EP1 at no charge, and if you had a 
license for EP2, you could upgrade to any other version of EP2 at no 
charge.  But no one needs me to tell them that, they can just go to 
the PST download site, try downloading/installing the software, and 
see what happens!

Note that PST made *major* changes in the software from EP2.0.8 to 
EP2.0.10, changes that can break things, so you may want to first try 
the upgrade to EP2.0.8.90 before going all the way to the Production 
Release (2.0.10.242) or the latest version (currently 
2.0.10.353).  You can see PST's advice about this at 
https://support.pstnet.com/entries/24643063 .

Aside from that, you might also take Michiel's sound advice to 
double-check your file names.
