Less than a year ago I bought PowerDVD Ultra with 24 months download subscription, but now when I need to download it again, I just cant find no info where I can download it???? I have looked under "My account" att CyberLinks very poor site, as well as having tried to search the FAQs and support areas, but the information is nowhere to be found??

I have now spend 35 minutes trying to find the info but now I have given up and started to download it from PirateBay instead, which is a total joke considering that I am a paying customer with a valid serial

Have tried to download the latest PowerDVD trial from 3 different places now (including download.com) but the file seem corrupted. Have tried it on 2 different computers, but all files give the same error message ("corrupt file"). The success story seem to continue for CyberLink

Have you tried emailing customer support? They should send you a link to the latest build. TAS

Sure, but no response...

But why should I really have to email customer support just to be able to download it? Why not just have a link right next to where my CD key is displayed?

When you purchased PowerDVD was a link provided for the download, if you purchased an extended download period, then the link should still be valid.

you should always make a backup copy of all your downloads, for just this situation.

As Tom has said, contact Technical Support, they will provide a link for you

This is turning into a real nightmare, this is the response I got from customer service:

"Dear Patrik,

Thank you for contacting CyberLink Online Support.

We understand that you are facing issue with PowerDVD Ultra software.

To assist you in a better way we need a valid proof of Purchase like order number (invoice / sales receipt), scanned copy of the installation disk or Alternative E-Mail address using which you have purchased PowerDVD Ultra from our CyberLink online store.

After analyzing the snap shot of the installation CD or invoice / sales receipt, we can assist you in a better way. "

I tell them I bought it online and need to get the download link again, and they ask me for a snapshop of the installation CD? Sorry, but the only conclusion I can draw from this is that they couldn't care less about their customers

They just sent you a one size fits all canned response.

Do you have the email you received when you bought it online? That's what you need. TAS

Unbelievable, I sent them a reply stating that I was very unhappy with their customer service and pointing out that asking me for a snappshot of the installation disc was kind of stupid considering I bought it online and downloaded it....and they sent me the exact same replay again as the first time! Totally unbelievable

Now I have had it with them and is going to download it from an "alternate source" instead, which is totally cracy as I am in fact a paying customer already.

What a joke

What I've done to get at my "24 month download" copy is: click "members" at the top of the page, then log in if necessary.

Then click "check order status" in the left hand column. I get a security error but click "continue to this website" anyway.

I then get asked to log in for a second time, using the same cyberlink account details.

I then get a list of orders and click the "24 month extended download" order. There's then a "download this product again" link, which lets me download the software.

Does that work for you?

I have been trying to access "check order status" for 4 days and the element 5 site responds with:

Service currently unavailable

This service is currently unavailable due to technical reasons. Please try again later.


Is anybody else having this problem? I contacted support over 24 hours ago and I haven't received a response.

I purchased a Media Suite 9.00 in 2016. I have an email from Cyberlink addressed to my current email and the product is registered on their website and I have a copy of same. I sent a request for a download link. They came back with the request for proof of purchase. Now, considering the above, this is totally insane. I have made 5 complaints and all come back with the sane standard repliey saying it has been forwarded. I am begining to think that no humans work at Cyberlink. Does anyone have the CEO's Jau Cheung email address. I have tried faxing him, but even the fax number on the website is wrong. They are totally useless.
