Upgrade from x5 ultimate to x9 ultimate deal

[delaluz]

I had read that there were no special deals for upgrading vs x5 to vs x9. However I was able to upgrde my copy of x5 ultimate to x9 ultimate for $20. This was the download option. I installed it & both x5 & x9 are working fine.

Here's the email "thread" that I exchanged with Corels' John Solmoro. Note that my first email is at the bottom of the thread.

Hello Bob
Thank you for contacting Corel Customer Support.

You're eligible for the legacy upgrade because we have a campaign upgrade for obsolete software.
If you're going to upgrade to VSX9 you need the serial number for the VSX5
so here is your serial number for the X5 (DELETED)
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions.

Thank you,
John

I have Videostudio x5. I just found out that I probably can't upgrade this version. Can you check?

I want to upgrade my Videostudio Ultimate to Videostudio V9 Ultimate 64 bit. When will V9 be available in the US & how much will the upgrade cost?

Thanks delaluz for the info

It does appear that Corel have dropped the option of two versions for eligibility to upgrade.

I checked the web site and found this info that seems to indicate all versions are eligible for upgrade.

I am sure many users will be delighted and I would have thought boost Video Studio sales.

A great deal for $20 especially with multi-cam

That's what I paid.

Wow! How did you get such a deal? I certainly can find nothing close to that on Corel's website despite having X5, X6, X7 and X8. Thanks.

I checked the cart & the price for the upgrade was $20.


Maybe Corel had a special on the upgrade which expired. The good news is that older releases qualify for the upgrade.
