I had recently purchased PD 13 though (about 4 months ago). I had no issues and somehow the key worked as though it was a full version with no promps for previous serial numbers or anything similar.

I did a Fresh OS install on a drive and installed PD 14 (upgrade) version with no other cyberlink product installed on the drive.

Do the same thing with PD13, and when you get to PD14, let it install everything and then install the content packs. The PD12 installer will ask for that license key before continuing, so in your case you'll want to have them all accessable. If you need to start with PD12 to get to 13 and then 14, just install the bare minimum (no Quicktime, SmartSound or WaveEditor). I'm not aware of any need to provide the previous version's license to install the new version. My understanding of upgrades from other users is that the existing product does need to be installed and that the upgrade uninstalls it automatically. All are running on my Win10 system and I've not seen any issue with. This methode works like a charm avoiding 'left-over' files and registry-entries.įor various reasons I've ended up with stand-alone (not upgrade) versions of PD12, 13 and 14. Parallels Software uses a installation process like that so I know it's possible.

When will you start using an upgrade process where the upgrade itself wil ask for a valid previous license key before asking for the upgrade key coming with an upgrade purchase of a Cyberlink product? I think the upgrade mechanism of Cyberlink is troublesome from the start since you can NEVER have a clean installation of any Cyberlink product if one chooses to upgrade. After I had PowerDirector 12 installed I could use the upgrade of PowerDirector 13. Only after the extracting installation files were available I was able to copy the Cyberlink PowerDirector 12 files needed without using the interactive setup. NET files were not installed the 'Cyberlink' way. It would basically cancel the installation as some Microsoft. NET installation issue's during just getting 12 on a Windows 10 Pro machine. I own PowerDirector 12 and upgrade PowerDirector 13 licence.I had issue's getting PowerDirector 12 installed because outdate. If indeed the answer is 'yes' you are telling me the only way I can install PowerDirector 14 on a clean installation of Windows Pro 10 is to buy a full version making promotions sent to 'valued' members void. The question is: Will PowerDirector 13 be demanded to be installed during the upgrade installation of PowerDirector 14 Ultimate? So in short I sent the below text to Cyberlink support: As I await a response of Cyberlink support I was wondering if my fellow forum-members ran into installation questions and issue's like I have.
