Hi,

I have never heard of a company offering a free upgrade if they upgrade with a year of you buying the software. Most companies update their software once a year. If you have some examples of this, please share.

The CL policy is if you purchase the product within a month of the new version, you are entitled to a free upgrade. Pretty standard from what I have experience.

Hi,

Updates are always free on all CyberLink products.

http://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/support/index_en_US.html

Power2Go 7 just came out, so there are no updates yet available for version 7. When there is, it will be free.

http://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/support/power2go/patches_en_US.html

Power2Go 7 is a new version, with new features. Hence the reason it is not free.

Going from version 6 to version 7 is clearly an upgrade, not an update. You are confusing the difference between the two.

I agree with this. Like my Trend Micro Antivirus, new features new interface, yet I never paid a cent for upgrade. Same for Norton Antivirus, better security, better interface, yet they don't charge a cent.

I agree it is a scam myself and you really need to be aware of what you are buying. If the price is too good to be true,you can expect a new version around the corner. I've been burnt like this before and learned to research before buying a new product.

The reason reason some companies do honor upgrades is because they are more of a rental than purchase. Norton, Trend Micro, etc are all expire in a year and are a subscription more than anything. Once they are used up, you throw them away or buy again.

Maybe if enough ppl complain companies will honor their product for at least a year. but,then they will probably follow a subscription policy and you have to buy it again every year.

Capitalism can be such a pain sometimes.

I just purchased the upgrade v7 but no where on my order was there anywhere to download it from and no sign of it in my members zone they have accepted payment and sent me an email but no download I have contacted their customer service a couple of times & still waiting for an answer.

I have been taken care of by customer service and wish to thank them for their quick response to my problem have not had a chance to use it (power2go v7) yet, my dvd burner can only read blue ray disks, I will probably have to buy a usb BD burner to utilize the programs full potential.
