Wrong version displayed in PowerDirector

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I bought PowerDirector 7 Ultra. But when I activated it, it told me that I successfully activated PowerDirector Deluxe. Also, when I go into the help->About, it also states that I Have PowerDirector Deluxe, not Ultra. Funny thing is, from what I can tell, I have the Ultra version features (for example, I have the option available to create a blu-ray disk). Is the problem just that it is displaying the wrong version but I really do have Ultra? Other than authoring blu-ray disks, is there any other feature I should have with Ultra but not with Deluxe. I just want to make sure I am getting all the features I paid for.

Hi Darren,

Help about should state,

Power Director Ultra 7.001829

The differences can be checked here

The only difference between Ultra and Deluxe is the ability to author Blue Ray and AVCHD, so ensure that your version does in fact have this ability, if not contact Technical Support

In help about, mine states: "PowerDirector Deluxe 7.00.1714"

I don't have a blu-ray burner yet, so I can't test the blu-ray authoring....although as I said earlier, I do have blu-ray authoring as an option when I author a disk...am I correct in assuming that if I truly had the deluxe version that I wouldn't even have that option?

Darren,

Please check the receipt you received - should have been a pdf sent to you. Look at the information on it and the amount you've been charged.

The key supplied will activate either the standard Deluxe version or the Blue Ray feature.

Robert has the Blue Ray Ultra version and so do I. Please view the attached image.

There are two options:
1. You have not purchase the Ultra
2. You have been supplied the wrong activation key.

After you've checked your receipt ..you have to decide whether to contact Customer Service.

Dafydd
PS Deluxe.... it will likely ask you to upgrade to Ultra.

After reading the prior posts, I thought my PD7 also had said Deluxe. I checked and the Help, About does show PowerDirector Deluxe. I then checked my invoice, and it shows PowerDirector 7 Ultra.

I will send the documentation to Technical Support.

It is looking like there is a third option...that I have Ultra, but it is displaying Deluxe. The first thing I did was check my receipt. It clearly says that I bought the Ultra version. Also, I just tried to produce a AVCHD file and it allowed me to (which I shouldn't have been able to do with deluxe version correct?). Also, when I go on the CyberLink website and view my registered products, I see my activation key listed twice...once for deluxe and once for ultra...exact same key. I contacted customer support and all they did was provide me a new download but no new key. I am skeptical about that helping but I'll give it a try.

PD7 Ultra vs Deluxe
I paid for PowerDirector 7 Ultra on
order xxxx2700, however in Help,
About, it shows PowerDirector Deluxe
7.00.1714. I believe the wrong download
file was provided to me. Please send
the current build for the Ultra version.

Please let me know how I can submit the
screenshot file showing the "Deluxe."

Customer Service just ignored the issue.

I tried to attach the PDF files to show this information, and it was only 646 kB in size, but it did not attach, so I am reposting.
