Just downloaded PD11 update 3026. Nervous about what happens next. Is this a complete new install ? or does it install over my original "online authorised" PD11 & save all previous settings ? Before even doing this, I have to ask ;

1) will this require me to tear my studio apart & do another online authorisation for the update, & / or the new supported file types, &

2) are the newly supported video file types included in the update so I can just load one & have it authorise online, or do I need to go somewhere & download a video clip ?? Maybe they don't even need authorising ?

Would appreciate warnings in advance.
Cheers

It's just a patch / update.

It will install over the existing without you having to do anything except click the install button.

*Note it is a good habit to always create a System Restore point before installing any updates- this way if you have any issues you can restore you system back to the previous state before the new install.

Thanks RobAC. First time updating Cyberlink product/s. I have to say I'm pretty pleased with PD11 overall. No other decent HD video editing trial program would even install &/or run on my PC, despite meeting system requirements.
Very happy !
