Michael,

They usually have a mid-year sale in mid to late June as they roll out the mid-year updates (2012.5). I would wait for that. Unless you have really good "soundfonts", the midi only package sounds pretty cheesy. But it might be good enough to get your ideas down. You have to know (or want to learn) chord progressions and such to use it to its fullest. However sometimes I do just listen to the demo songs for each style and use that for a set of lyrics. It is a lot of fun, but it takes effort (and that learning curve) to get really good stuff out of it.

Donna: I see no reason why you can't transfer licenses.
