Quote: Am I understanding it correctly that if I upgrade to Director Suite 5 perpetual I get audio tracks and whatever bonuses are included, but if I subsctibe to the Live version, I dont get anything except the program?

I donl't think that is correct -- look here:

I know there is a problem with Vitascene license. .

OK, so the 15 audio clips is the only difference I guess. Kinda lame that they are leaving that off the subscription model, which guarantees them annual revenue.

Where did you read that?

When you're on the order page the audio clip "bonus" is mentioned on the perpetual side but as soon as you click the subscription side it disappears.

I have purchased the upgrades since PD8 but now think maybe the subscription model makes more sense, as much as I hate subscriptions.

Thanks for that. Did you go to the Muserk web site to read about what it is for? Copyright music for use on YouTube or other.

I has nothing to do with Magic Music (included). It looks like an OEM type teaser version for the Muserk license. .

Incorrect, Magic Music not offered with PD15 anymore, it’s not included, one only acquires if a previous PD supported version is installed.

Looks like we need another chart about what is not included ! And perhaps one about what used to be included that still works and what will no longer work! .

I subscribed to Director Suite 5 Live. Here is what you get to download.

1. CyberLink Application Manager (CAM) (32-bit application)


2. adorage-dspvol02 (32bit/64bit)


3. vitascene-dsple-2.0.243.1 (32/64bit)

CyberLink Application Manager lets you install the following through its own interface

• PowerDirector15, AudioDirector7, ColorDirector5, PhotDirector8 (all have 64-bit version available)


• CyberLink WaveEditor2 (installed passively as part of either PD15 or AD7) (32-bit version only)


• PowerDirector Content Pack Essential


• PowerDirector Content Pack Premium 1 & 2


• Action Pack, Wedding Pack, Holdiay Magic Style Pack


• Romance Pack Vol.3


• Holiday DVD Menus Pack Vol. 2 & 3


• Holiday Pack Vol.4-8


• Travel Pack Vol.2-4

I didn't find any separate downloadable Music tracks inside CyberLink Application Manager or the email or inside My Account.
But don't know if it is available via Director Zone comminity. Let me know if someone knows how to check that.

If anyone is planning to buy the subscription, then please keep a tab on this thread too to get a few more clarifications.
