I just upgraded my OS to Win 7 trying to load VS 11+ download and my keycode isnt working, which isnt allowing me to then load Pro x3.

})#*+~~

Any words of advice? Contact Corel?

Which I hear is just about worthless.

Ugh

I don't think a previous version needs to be installed, you just need the serial number (?).

I got Pro X3 on finally but cant get VS11+ I wonder since I have X3 it writes off 11+ ?

It shouldn't. I have 10, X2, and X3 on mine. (don't have 11+)

No it should not remove or have any affect on VS11+. On my XP machine I have every version from 8 to X3 installed.

Windows 7 made a old programs folder from my vista 32 bit and I was able to open and use 11+ wonder if i should delete this folder and reinstall or just leave it alone?

I'm not sure, as I haven't used Win7, but if its working why fix it? In other words, if it 'aint broke don't fix it..

Personally, I have always deleted the OLD folder after installation (I had a licence to upgrade 3 computers to Win 7). I had already copied all document, image etc and data files before installing Win 7, and knew I should install all the other programs from scratch. I therefore did not know that something like VS11 would work from the OLD folder, though imagine that somehow it works via Win 7 and could thus be interfering with your new installation of VS11+...

That being said, there is no reason why concurrent versions from about VS10 onwards cannot co-exist on the same Win 7 computer... I at least have VS11.5+, X2 and X3 on the same computer with no problems...
