Operating System

Trying or subscribing to Audirvāna Studio or purchasing a license of Audirvāna Origin does not change your current version of Audirvāna.

The license you bought belongs to you. You can use it and resume using this version if you like. The license key and downloads are available in your account.

Your library will remain unchanged. We recommend running the two versions at different times on your computer.
