Hi there, since I’ve been running an actual Waves Update Plan and lately received the information on LV1 V15 being available, I thought of doing the update. But, in the notes on System Requirements it says, that “Waves SoundGrid servers Gen 6 (X6) and earlier are not supported”. My questions: 1. Does it mean, my Extreme Server (that is X6) cannot be used any longer for LV1 V15 and I would have to buy a new one? It worked fine until V14 and its performance was quite good. 2. So, what is the difference to an actual new Soundgrid Server? Do we need a lot more CPU-Power for V15? Or is it just a recommendation to work with higher performing Soundgrid Servers? Thanks and Best Regards Gerson ---

Hi @Gerry, If you have the Waves Update Plan available, I’d suggest updating your license to V15. You can keep the installation as V14 if required, and when time comes and you are ready to upgrade, you can simply install V15 or the latest version available. 1. It will still work, but since we do not use gen6 servers to test the latest LV1 software we might not be aware of performance degradations, but it is less likely to be an issue with V15 2. It doesn’t necessarily need more CPU power for V15. If you need any assistance with setting up or updating your LV1 license, feel free to [Contact our Technical Support team](https://www.waves.com/contact-support). They will gladly help out. ---

Hi Adi, since Gen6 SG-Servers are „unsupported“ from V15 upward, I bought a used X10 (I7 10th generation) SG server. Now I am very surprised, that even this „new“ Gen10-SG Server shows up as „unsupported“ after having done the Firmware-Update to 15.1…. Any help available from your side? On the WAVES website it was clearly mentioned, that X6-Servers are no longer supported, meaning that everything above should be working and be „supported“. Did I spend a lot of money in vain? Hoping for a positive outcome. Best Regards Gerson ---
