I had to reinstall Sibelius on my PC recently only to find out that the 5.1 update is no longer available, only the 5.2 is currently offered.  We all know VDL wo't yet work with Sibelius 5.2, does anyone have a download link for or any ideas where I could get 5.1 so I can use VDL again?

Using the magical search box, i came up with this

The Sibelius 5.0 to 5.1 upgrade is no longer linked to on the Sibelius website, but the upgrade file for the Mac version is still on their server. It can be found at:

After some searching, I found the windows installer for anyone who may need it...

OK! after acctually testing the links, the mac version downloads fine, but the PC version needs a small work around, here's what I did to get it....


[u]Steps to getting 5.1 for your PC[/u]
1. [b]Copy[/b] this to your clipboard    http://www.sibelius.com/helpcenter/updates/software/sib5updates/Sibelius51English.exe

2. [b]Click[/b] this  http://www.sibelius.com/helpcenter/updates/sibelius5/5_1_windows_update.html

3. After clicking the link to download 5.1, It will ask for your Sibelius serial to verify that you are registered user, input your Sibelius serial

4. It will bring you to a 5.2 download page, but that's ok! just [b]paste[/b] the URL from step one in your browser and you can download 5.1!
