FAQs
How does Rent-to-Own work?
Try Backbone free for 3 days, then pay for it in 30 monthly payments. Once you've paid it off, you'll redeem a lifetime license and the plugin is yours forever. You can also pay off your remaining balance at any time to own it sooner.
Is this the full version of Backbone?
Yes, your copy of Backbone will offer the complete range of features you find in those purchased directly from Steinberg, and will be the most up-to-date version of the software.
Is there any interest or extra charge?
There's no interest, extra charge, or hidden fee associated with the Rent-to-Own model. You will pay roughly the same amount through Rent-to-Own as you would if you were to buy Backbone directly from Steinberg at a non-discounted price.
What happens if I cancel my plan?
