The advantage is Sapphire OFX works on any/all OFX platforms on one machine, in addition to Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro! Sapphire Sparks are locked to Flame only unless you were to purchase a 2795.00 Spark multi-host license. A node-locked permanent seat of Sapphire “Flame Only” Sparks and a node-locked permanent seat of Sapphire OFX is $1695.00. Is there a price difference between Sapphire OFX and Sapphire Sparks?

We will continue to support customers who own Sapphire Sparks and are on a current Upgrade and Support contract, but will gladly provide free cross-grades over to OFX. It’s more robust and modern API, and frankly, the future of all our products. OFX!!!! At Boris FX, we are very excited about the future of our plug-ins on the OFX platform. If your machine does not have Internet connection, you will need to choose to 'deactivate your license manually using another computer's web browser' option.What is the future for Sapphire…Sparks or OFX? Internet connection is required in order to successfully deactivate your license.
