They ended up returning the software (since I hadn’t installed it – just registered for this forum) and are sending me a new bundle from GuitarCenter.com. Apparently this is an Online Only promotion. Not sure what’s going to happen to my serial number for EZDrummer; theoretically it should become disabled and I’ll use the new one that will come with the online order.

So, don’t try to buy this at a Guitar Center store, because they won’t know what to do with it. (Though EZDrummer is still on sale there for $99.99.) If you want the free expansion, you need to order it through the GC web site.

That link to GC’s Web site should work fine, since it has you choose the EZX that you want. They should give you the serial number for both EZD and the expansion in your receipt or an email or somehting after your purchase.

At my local GC store, I got a serial number for EZDrummer on my receipt, but I didn’t get a serial number for the EZX, so I called today and they said I should stop by and they will help me get it straightened out. My suspicion is that they have a separate SKU for the bundle, that the regular sales employees have not been told about, so they’ll have to do some crazy retail-fu to make it work. I’ll let you guys know what I find out when I go to the store later today.

I had a similar experience – the GC employee told me that Toontrack would provide the free EZX. EZDrummer was on sale for $99.99 and it said that it came with a free expansion. Any information on this would be appreciated.
