does each new patch include the previous patches. or do you have to install each patch when doing a fresh install ?

Just install the latest patch as it contains all previous update material and corrections.

Hello, I have a similar question about patches but for PD 9 ultra 64.
I've purchased (by downloading) Power Director 9 Ultra 64 a few days ago.
I see some patches available in the support tab for PD 9 with different build numbers.

The release date is older than the download date but the build number is higher than the one appearing in my "about dialog".

1) Should I apply the last patch or not?

2) I am assuming that release number is the last number appearing after version, like this "9.0.0.2316" (in the "about dialog" in my software), so I think it is build "2316". Is that right?

Thanks in advance!
Eze Regards, Eze

Sorry some more questions about versioning:

1) Patch says "Power Director 9", is it suitable for Power Director 9 Ultra 64 as well or not? (Since I'm new to cyberlink, I'm afraid of breaking my current installation)

2) Some patches says "only for retail and online versions": what's a retail version and non-retail? "online purchase" means purchased by downloading (not in a software box/package)? Just to be sure applying proper patches.

3) Though there are some patches with build number higher to my cyberlink soft builds in the site, the update dialog in my software says "there's no updates available". Why?

Thanks again,
Eze Regards, Eze

Eze,

You will get better assistance by posting your questions on the Power Director 9 forum.

http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/forums/show/67.page

Quick answers for you.
1. - If the patch is for Power Director 9 it is suitable for Ultra if retail or download version
2. - Non-retail is a bundled version included with some cameras or computers. Generally a lesser version than the Ultra. Retail/online purchased is the full version purchased.
3. - Updates refer more to program updates ie: Version 8 to Version 9 etc. Patches are to correct known issues or problems. (ususally referenced in the build number)

You are correct in that the last 4 digits are the build number. It is generally best to have the highest build number for your version. You need only apply the latest patch. (2504 I think for PD9)

Don’t you thing that you have to move on an grow up to a newer version?. Like PD9 to we all get in the same mod?

I'm sorry, I don't understand. My version of power director is the last one: Power Director 9 Ultra 64 bits.
I just posted a question in the wrong forum (an old one).

Is it possible to move these posts so that they can be useful to others in PD 9 fourm?

Eze,

You don't have to have it moved. You will be fine. You got your questions answered, and I know that you will ask your next questions in the PD9 forum.

Welcome to the forums, by the way.
