How do I convert PRO version to ultimate version

Post by babdi »

I had purchased X2 PRO, US version which does not have ultimate version
though the price is same at $59 for both versions.The question is
1) Why US version does not have "Ultimate"
2) Will Corel give a free update to ultimate version once it gets launched in US considering the price for both are same
3) How do I get the ultimate version now without paying for it all over again ?

1) You will have to ask Corel why they decided on this strange marketing policy.
2) There is absolutely no difference between X2 Pro and X2 Ultimate. The ONLY difference is that, in addition to the program itself, X2 Pro comes with WinDVD 8 Silver, where X2 Ultimate comes with WinDVD 9, Corel DVD Copy 6 and Steinberg WaveLab LE 6. Those are the ONLY differences...
3) See 1 above! :roll:

In fact when you install VSX2 Ultimate the screen will say Pro.
The difference between the two is not the actual VideoStudio program itself, it is the package of programs that are supplied.

In fact there are (as in the previous two versions 10 and 11) just two forms of VideoStudio:
Standard - with 1 video track and 1 overlay track
Pro - with 6 overlay tracks.

Both new Standard and Pro versions do however include two audio tracks.

And this time round, both Standard and Pro both have 2 title tracks, but only Pro has the extra overlay tracks.

Thank you for the input. US version not having ultimate does not ring a bell. I hope they will come out with it soon. :)

Hi

I sent the email below to Corel on September 15 regarding "Ultimate" version but still no reply. I think Corel should allow people who have purchased VS Pro X2 from US site by mistake to download WinDVD 9 Plus Blu-ray and Steinberg WaveLab LE 6 Audio Editor which was included if purchased from Corel UK site.

The reason I am requesting the return of my product is :How do I convert PRO version to ultimate version.

I purchased X2 PRO Upgrade US version not knowing that the UK version is the Ultimate version of VSX2PRO.

How do I get the ultimate version now without paying for it all over again ?
