If I buy the standard version, can I update to the pro version later ? Currently have an 8 core processor but will upgrade to a 16 core processor next month.

Make sure to check the spam folders, some e-mail clients (in particular GMail) put our purchase confirmation mail in there.
Most purchases are handled really quickly on our side (within minutes of purchase), but unfortunately e-mail is not as reliable as one could hope for...

The number of activations is by default 4, if you have more computers just send us an e-mail to increase the limit. There is no real limit for users that don't abuse the system.
With the -20% Upgrade Promo for Houdini 5 users, pricing is 31.95€+VAT and 47.95€+VAT for Houdini 6 Standard and Pro.
I know. I decided to buy Houdini 6 for the "normal" price (without discount), because I want to support the Houdini-project. I believe, it is very important, to have another top-engine besides Stockfish and Komodo fighting for the world's number one position.

Also lowering default EGTB Probe Depth value to 1 is nice since SSD is what most people use.
It is believed that Probe Depth Value is different between 5-men and 6-men syzygy. For example if probing 5-men, value of 0 may be adequate. If probing 6-men 1 may be best.
