Hi Ron,
That is good news for you.

Both FULL versions of PowerDirector are sitting comfortably on my system. I can access and use both individually.

Please take a look here: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/19405.page

I use PD10 every day.

If you have questions after reading and viewing the links I have provided, please pose them.....

Please be aware that Dafydd stated he has both FULL versions installed together! I think the key item of note for you, related to upgrade versions is found at the bottom of the following link:

Thanks for your replies.
I think (though this is only a guess) that it must be possible for me to keep PD9 because I have the physical disc, I own that disc and it was not a downloaded install. For example, if I do the upgrade to PD10 (and as yet I am not sure what to do) then I guess I can reinstall PD9 from my disc if needed. We shall see but I will most definately check this point with them. So long as I can always revert to my PD9 if I need to then its not really an issue I suppose.

Exciting times! Problem is that I will be 'off air' from the net in 1 week's time until mid Dec but I guess that this will provide me with a lot of 'study time'! CYa Ron (W10/i5gen8/Nvidia)

If yo get the upgrade it WILL uninstall PD9... I made that mistake.... I DO NOT recommend getting the upgrade at all... if you need to reinstall it, you will have to install AND register your older version first every time before the PD10 install wizard will start. __________________________________________

Interesting post Bubba, thanks.

Certainly food for thought ... I might just download what Cyberlink offer me in the upgrade, save it but then tread water for a while to see what develops before I commit the PD10 install. In case of failure, to have to reinstall my PD9 disc, register etc before reinstalling the PD10 update could be a real pain. But this assumes that PD10 problems will require a reinstall.

What a choice to make ... might be best to have a look at what Amazon will be offering and spend the few dollars! Though I could 'take a chance', do the upgrade and if it proves to be a problem go back to PD9 or maybe make an Amazon purchase then which may reflect lower prices ... Crikey, this is all a bit much for this ageing brain! CYa Ron (W10/i5gen8/Nvidia)

Does the "trial" uninstall PD 9?

thanks!

skeeter...

Skeeter,

The trial did not remove PD9 on my machine. Specs below.

You should be OK to install the trail without losing your current version.

Thanks, Hal! I just discovered that myself.. Carefully watched the install status.... BUT, if I purchase or get a free update to PD10 (from 9), will it uninstall 9?

and about those "create/modify DVD menus"....grrrr..

Again, thanks Mate!

Skeeter,

If you purchase an upgrade it will replace PD9. To keep PD9 you will have to purchase the full stand alone version.

The free upgrade to PD10 from PD9 will likely uninstall PD9 before installing PD10 also. I intend to keep PD9 around for a while yet so I will be purchasing the full version.

As to the menu issue, I have come to live with what is supplied. I prefer to work with what is available to avoid the headaches. Just my way of doing things.

Hal. Yeah. I hear ya. I'd like to find a good football theme. I do game films for a high school team....sing out if you know of one. I searched a while back but, alas... I ended up making a generic, easily modded one, from scratch but I forgot how I did it. At least the PD10 trial install picked it up from V9, but I bet a fresh install would wipe out my earlier ones....hmmmm... I wonder if I export/pack my current project(s) will PD10 import them? Time for some experimenting I reckon!

thanks again!

..sk

Nope. It doesn't pack the DVD menus. Grrrr.

I bought the 9 to 10 patch upgrade (PD 9.5!), I cannot find a link to the 1st new "repair" patch, 1012.

I purchased an upgraded to PD10 and it left PD9 alone. My youtube channel====> http://www.youtube.com/user/relate2?feature=mhsn

Well, since I started this Post its appropriate to close it.
I decided to download my authorised upgrade and install PD10.

Had a few problems with downloading the (3) software packages:
Password from Cyberlink did not function ... new password subsequently issued was OK
Downloads failed a few times which I can only conclude were due to 'broadband line problems'. When it failed I could not restart from where it got to in the download (retry had no effect) so it was necessary to start from scratch. This must be due to the security on the Cyberlink link.... took many hours to finalise some 2GB overall.

However I eventually got the software packages downloaded and they installed without difficulties ... very straight forward process with main programme installed first (license number authorisation entered) and then the Packages 1 & 2 installed. PC reboot, download Update Build 1012 and installed it.

OK, I have not had a chance to 'play' but I am IMPRESSED with how easy it was to action the upgrade ... thank you Cyberlink. To those who seem to have problems I can only say 'take a look at your local scene 'cause it seems that the downloads from Cyberlink are OK'.

Now to have a bit of a play ... CYa Ron (W10/i5gen8/Nvidia)
