So, I went out and purchased Mixed in Key awhile back. You know, I liked the program well enough or else I wouldn't have bought it. It's not needed, but it's just "nice" if you will.
I was still using a Windows based PC at the time. I went to go re-download it for the Macbook Pro I just got, and then came upon an issue. So I went back and forth with emails with the company for a bit.
"Hi,
We understand that some companies sell licenses for multiple operating systems in a single package, but that is not the case with Mixed In Key. We always ask our DJs to purchase a new version of Mixed In Key for Mac OS X since it requires different licensing. As a special "thank you" for being a valued customer, we will give you free lifetime updates for all platforms after your purchase. All future versions of Mixed In Key will become free for you.
Here is the page to buy your Mac OS X license: http://www.MixedInKey.com/BuyNow.aspx
Cheers,

I have to say this is pretty bogus. I'm not happy with this, considering I paid $58 for something that's completely useless for me now. I won't recommend MiK for anyone unless you feel like shelling out twice the amount if you ever decide to make a switch from Mac to PC and back.
I'm a firm believer in the "one product, one license" mantra. It shouldn't matter what operating system you are using. That's like if Native Instruments had one version of Traktor for Mac, and another for PC.
It's just terrible business practice.
So just warning people, if you're thinking about purchasing it, it's decent software, but don't plan on switching operating systems.
