Upgrading from freebie

[Arnie D]

Hi

If you remember a few years back when they stopped producing MediaStudio Pro at version 8 they gave MediaStudio users the option to download VideoStudio 11 for free. I did download it and have been using it ever since. I am hoping to upgrade from this to VideoStudio pro X3, and wondered if anyone else has done so succesfully.
I guess that because it was free I'm thinking that it might be upgrade restricted and just want to make sure I can upgrade from it before I purchase the upgrade. It does have a serial number so I'm assuming that it should be OK.

Thanks in advance

I don't see why not. When you upgrade the new version will ask for a SN from a previous version, so you should be good.

Thanks for the reassurance.

Hello Arnie D,

The VideoStudio X3 Upgrade is not dependent on the installed VideoStudio 11 the upgrade that you see is a discount that Corel provide for users using old version of VideoStudio.

You are eligible to upgrade to the latest version of VideoStudio if you have a registered version of the following.
* VideoStudio® 10 or higher (Standard or Pro)
* Corel® VideoStudio® Express 2010
* Corel® Digital Studio™ 2010

But I would suggest that you try installing the trial version first. You can download it via http://www.corel.com/trials
