Is there an upgrade from PD11 Ultimate to PD Ultimate Suite. All I can see in the upgrade paths are for Version 9 and 10 rather than 11.

Sorry if I've missed it somewhere, but I've looked through the site and can't find any reference to it

Hi,
The PD11 Ultimate suite is just Pd11 and Photo Director, Color Director and audio Director sold as a package. If you bought PD11 Utlimate then you have to Purchase the others separate.

Yes, you can upgrade.

First, some clarification: PowerDirector Ultimate Suite includes PowerDirector, ColorDirector and AudioDirector but does not include PhotoDirector. Director Suite includes PowerDirector, ColorDirector, AudioDirector and PhotoDirector.

It is possible to go from PD11 to the PD11 Ultimate Suite at a lower price than purchasing ColorDirector and AudioDirector individually or having to buy the whole Suite when you already own PD11. I have received these upgrade offers when using PD11 and the offers appear in the Update/Upgrade box. Sometimes I get an offer to upgrade from PD11 to the PD11 Ultimate Suite, and sometimes I get an offer to upgrade from PD11 to the Director Suite, which adds PhotoDirector. Click on the Upgrade button and see what you get. Or contact Cyberlink directly.

I'm not sure I've seen these offers outside of PD11, if I find a link I'll post it.

I asked about this a few weeks ago and was told No.
Suggestion to me was to request a refund for PD 11 then purchase the Suite.
I was within the refund period then.

Only "Upgrade" I can see now in About in PD11 is to PhotoDirector 4. Maybe there are sometimes offers but I think there should be an generally available upgrade path that would cost about the same (maybe just a little more) than the bundle bought alone.

Upgrade screen shot attached.

As this offer is apparently linked to my registered copy of PD11, I am not including the URL.

Many thanks Rob.

Mine is just showing the PhotoDirector 4 at the moment, but I'll keep checking and hopefully an offer will come up sometime.

I don't know what triggers the upgrade messages, but I suggest you make sure your copy of PowerDirector 11 is registered with Cyberlink, and do the same with trial versions of AudioDirector and ColorDirector. Perhaps the offer is given to those who tried these utilities but did not purchase them. Or maybe you have to own several Cyberlink products, I don't know. And if you get the upgrade offer, but cannot purchase it that instance, bookmark it for later.

Also, after the 30 day trial period of AudioDirector, I was offered $30 off.
