Thanks, I appreciate the response!

When I click the upgrade button it changes the price to $34.99. I actually like Recorder 2 from my existing suite but just wanted to upgrade it for the new features along with the other utilities. It's a shame it's 35 bucks to get the late version when they already throw in an earlier one at no extra cost. Doesn't seem to add up.

I must be blind, but I also can't find how many computers I can install it on. I can install the suite on more than one as long as I only use it once at a time. Doesn't say anything at all about Screen Recorder. So if I upgrade to version 4 does that mean I have to buy multiple upgrade copies for my multiple computers?

ScreenRecorder 4 is actually FREE software, it's just the features marked (Premium) that you have to pay for after the 30-day trial period.

You're not blind, but I'm afraid that you'll need to read the full EULA.

I did, and there seems to be some seriously circular logic: they state that the individual consumer is bound by the general terms, and the general terms state that the number of computers you can install on is defined by the number of licenses you own, but nowhere that I could see is there a definition of the actual number allowed per license.

The closest thing I saw was that you're limited to a single backup copy (nothing at all about installed copies), and a backup copy implies that it has to be nonfunctional.

Maybe you should contact Cyberlink customer service and see if they can provide you with a clearer answer. Please post back here so other people will know, too!

It's funny, I read it like you did and came to the same conclusion. I will probably call Customer Service since I want to upgrade to the Suite 365 and have the full functionality of Screen Recorder 4. Probably just have to subscribe to the suite and then pay the extra 35 dollars to get the full Recorder 4. I will post back after I get this figured out. Thanks for the replies.
