Been asking that question for several days to their Tech Support.
We'll see if I get an snswer before the trial period is up.
Then we will have to ask foir a refund....

You really can't effectively, the trial version is missing a large chunk of content that comes when you buy PD and obtain the two download links and the SN.

I had the same question...Once I got the activation key I ended up uninstalling the trial version and downloading the full version (2 files...program and content) and installing that with the key.

thank you for the help!! ^_^ hope i'll have no problem installing it after downloading the full version..

Hi all. Just had a reply on that as I have the same problem:
Dear Brian,

Thank you for contacting CyberLink Technical Support.

I understand your concern related with CyberLink PowerDirector 9 and you want to know how you can activate the trial version to a full version by entering the activation key.

In regards to your issue, I would like to inform you that once your trial version gets expire, then, it will automatically ask you for the activation key while launching trial software. Then, you can enter the CD key for it.


Please feel free to contact us back for any further clarification or for any assistance related to CyberLink products.

Thanks and Regards

Bedi

Hope this helps Bri

Yes, that is the correct way to do it. __________________________________

Just occurred to me though. If I do that, I wont have the extras that apparently come with the `full version?`

I have my CD Key from buying the PD9 Upgrade online, but I don't recall getting the download links you mention. With everything going on around here, it's no surprising I missed it.

Where can I get the links?

I had gotten a message in my power director 9 software that I can get a free upgrade to power director 11. I clicked and downloaded it but it requires an activation code? If its free why a code or what is the code? Is my power director 9 code?

This is an old thread. Where did you get PD9 and what is the link to get the free PD11 upgrade?? We can check it for you.

I purchased powerdirector 9 from Amazon and when in PD 9 and go to create disc there was an notice for a free upgrade since it was in the pd9 software I assumed it was from cyberlink and not some bogus ad? There are also ads to upgrade to pd13 at a 75 % discount? Are these notices legit or crap ads? Please advise if it is legit? if not I will unload the pd11 since I cannot access it anyway?
thanks, C

You have to post the link for the free PD11 upgrade so we can check it out. Discounts are everywhere.
