About to upgrade motherboard and CPU - will PSP X9 work?

Post by Matagalpa »

I'm about to upgrade my PC, keeping the same hard drives and peripherals. I'm not planning to format my machine and will continue to use the same Windows 10 installation. Will PSP X9 license continue to work, or do I need to do anything before the upgrade?

Motherboard & CPU change will not effect PSP. Issues develop with Operating System changes usually.

In any case, if something goes wrong and you have to reinstall PSP, the EULA allows up to three installations on different computers, though only one is supposed to be used at any one time. But we are in any case unaware of any way that Corel can police this.

I changed (and upgraded) my entire computer a couple of months ago. New motherboard with two digital ports for two displays, 32 GB RAM, etc. Wondows 10 as before and PSP X9 Ultimate. All work perfectly first time although I had to reset my preferences in PSP as it became a new installation. You should have no problem whatsoever.
