Quote I just bought PowerDirector 16 (Full version) and I already have PowerDirector 15. Is it possible to remove Powerdirector 15 from my computer and install it on a different computer before I install PowerDirector 16?

Do I have to de-activate it or anything, or is it straightforward?

I was thinking that I just have to uninstall it on my current computer and that would allow me to install it on another computer. Am I right about this?

Thanks for any help!

The license states one computer. You can remove PD 15 from your computer, then with the original installation files/DVD you can install it on your other computer.

You do not have to de-activate, just remove.

Because of the early contents, you may want to install PD 16 before you remove PD 15. That way any contents that can be moved forward will be. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Thanks! I'm just curious about your last statement. I don't understand it completely. What do you mean by "any contents that can be moved forward will be"? Are you saying that there will be some content from PD15 that I will not be able to move over to the new computer? If that's the case, why not? I bought a full license for PD16, not an upgrade.

Some of the contents (transitions, titles, etc.) from the earlier version are normally added to the contents of newer versions during installation. If you remove them before that, they will not be available in PD 16. .

Oh, I see. So, I guess people who are buying PD 16 who don't have previous versions won't have access to those materials. That's interesting.

jonobugs -- Your point? Be clear so we can understand your motives.

I guess it pays to be a long term customer !

For example : Many car companies give discounts for people upgrading from an earlier model year. It is not unuaual. .

I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to be unclear. I was just making a comment. As far as I'm aware, I have no motives!

It didn't occur to me that newer versions of the software would not include the materials from the older versions. Thank you for making that more clear to me.

I'm not a long time customer as I had only discovered this software last year. I really enjoy using it, but I do have a few complaints about some of the controls, etc. In any case, even though I'm mostly happy with the PD15, I wanted to get PD16 because I want to take my old software to work and use it there.
