It is possible they have changed their policy in the light of the current problems with the Windows 7 update and now every one on Win 7 with Videostudio X7 or previous cannot use it.
Well, I just had the X4 version, but I bought X9 Ultimate upgrade some days ago from Corel directly and installed it today. Corel sent me a serial number for X9, so I did not need to enter this number from a previous version. In fact, I uninstalled X4 before I installed X9 and it seems the installer did not bother that

So, I am now a happy user of the latest version of Visual Studio and can finally use up to 8 audio tracks, which was the main reason to me to get it. It seems you are right, they changed the policy - at least for the special upgrade offer until the end of February. I got the upgrade for just 49 EUR, while Amazon offers it for 84 EUR (for Germany), so I think it was really a bargain.
