Topic: Request for Financial Assistance with Pianoteq License

I’m an enthusiast from Iran, and one of my biggest passions is playing the piano. I’ve been trying to learn and improve steadily, but access to proper tools is very limited here.

To give you some context: right now, 1 US dollar is around 1,200,000 Iranian Rials, which makes software purchases extremely difficult. Making money here is honestly very hard, and incomes are extremely low compared to global prices. Because of this, most music software is financially out of reach for me, even though I’m deeply committed to practicing and learning.

I wanted to kindly ask if it would be possible to receive a free license for Pianoteq Standard, or any kind of support you’re able to offer. It would mean a lot for my musical journey.

I’m fully open to providing proof of residency and verifying that I’m living in Iran if needed.

Sorry for my English, I tried my best with online proofing tools

For certain uses the trial version may be useful for you.

Dear neovortex,

You may try this:

https://www.studiologic-music.com/products/numaplayer/

It is not as fancy as Pianoteq, but it is quite good and free.

Give a try.

Hey Neovortex,

hope you do good under IRGC suppression. #WLF

Some idea:
There are some forum topics offering to sell used licenses - some of them really cheap.

I was lucky sometime in the past that someone helped me to get my license - and so I would chip in 10€ for your license too.

Cheers

Ps.: I hope you will use it with Linux - you know, Windows licenses are expensive
