Hi if I'm upgrading from PD16, are the various premium packs new or the same as previous. Do they need to be downloaded and installed or can I use previous?

Thanks

I would recommend to download them all, should you need them in future e.g. for reinstallations.

If you execute the packs I have found that if you have PD16 and did not uninstall it, you are prompted that the pack already execists and do youwant to uninstall before installation. I have not discovered any change in the packs between 16 and 17.

The NewBlue Paint Effects and the Essentials VII appear to require a licence key. They (still) work in PD16. They are not part of the PD17 ultimate package.

I think you need to re unstall Essentials VII after the PD 17 installation . It is the same thing last year after the unstallation of PD 15 to PD 16

I wonder, if I uninstall 16, then install 17 upgrade, how do I get the NewBlueFx that are in 16 now back into 17? what would the exact uninstall/reinstall sequence be?

thanks
