uhhhmmm...be careful it's not a "recycled" or 'previously-evaluated' product. If it's been registered before by someone, you'll probably have a problem getting it licensed to work on your own machine(s)....and even then, Sony's strict about the number of 'your' machines that can operate the product.

The NR plugin price by itself is normally more than SF alone....!
