Yes if you can keep PD14 also until you are sure that everything is OK with PD16.
If you prefer, use the Trial version to check it out. XEON-E5-2680 v4 / Mem. 16GB DDR4
M.2 NVME 512Gb / 2-SSD Sata3 1TB
AMD RX570 / Display Philips 272V8
Windows 11_64Pro / PD22/365

okay...

of course will keep PD14 on my computer as many finish project are there!

the trial version is a good idea but not sure to finish the project in 30 days.....

I think to remember when from PD12 upgrade to PD14 I was editing Iran and could continue without ptoblem with 14, but as not sure witch version I do it why i ask!

thanks

I was running PD15 and was worried if I upgraded would it overright anything in PD15 and it did not. It installed a separate copy for PD16 so I could use one or the other but not both.

If you install the demo and do decide to buy it you will need to remove the demo and install the registered copy. PowerDirector Tutorials Team

Hi,

Just remember that the project edited with PDR 16 will not be useable in earlier versions.

All versions of PDR are backward compatible - later versions will open projects from earlier versions - but any project edited and saved in a later version will not be compatible with earlier versions.

So in this case, open your project in PDR16 and immediately save it with another name so that you don'r lose/overwrite your earlier PDR14 project, just in case you cannot complete the project in PDR16.

Cheers
