How do I upgrade w/out an installed version?

[Skippermark]

Hi,

I used to use PSP years ago but switched to a Mac and had to stop using it.

I'm switching back to Windows and would like to use PSP again and get an upgrade to the latest version, but my old PSP was on a CD, and the new computer won't have a CD reader, so I can't install or verify that I owned a previous copy.

Any thoughts on how I can still qualify for an upgrade? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

Corel's upgrade policy reads as follows:

Upgrade Eligibility

To purchase this product, you must own a previous licensed version of Corel® PaintShop (Pro or Ultimate). Please note that upgrade eligibility excludes Academic, Home and Student, OEM and Not for Resale (NFR) versions.

So it looks as though you will be OK there.

As for installing your old version of PSP, do you have a friend who has a computer with a CD/DVD drive, or does your Mac have one? I would copy the contents of the disc onto a USB drive and install from there. Hopefully other users might have different ideas.

Thanks Ken. I never thought of that. I have a realy old laptop that has a CD, but it wouldn't be one I'd use to edit with, so I didn't even think of that. Copying the CD to a USB drive is a great idea.

How old is your old version? Was it pre-Corel? Did you have a corel account and register your old version previously?

Could always call customer support. Should not need to install an old version to get the upgrade.
