Pete 12:
Normally, you will be offered an upgrade price to the new version of PDVD, when it is released. You cannot reuse a key for a previous version. If you don't need any of the new features, and your older version is still compatible with the version of Windows that you are running, then you don't have to pay to upgrade. You can stay with your older version.
I hope that this helps. Have a great day.
