Move PSP & VSP to new computer

Post by budbon »

My old computer is on it's last leg. Can I move PSP & VSP to my new computer. If so, how to re-register. Also, can I have a copy on my laptop?
Thanks in advance.

Versions of PSP were able to be loaded on up to three computers that you owned so long as only one was being used at a time.
The latest with PSP 2019 is on up to two computers.
You would have to look at the Eula for VideostudioPro to see the conditiond for that.

Just for clarity, you can't just "move" the folders containing PSP/VSP from one computer to another. You have to actually use the installation files and procedures and do fresh installs on your new computers. Then just use the activation/serial numbers that you used to activate the programs on the new computers. You don't have to re-register with Corel.
Regards,

Unfortunately the more recent versions always require you to register before opening unlike earlier versions where you could postpone or even not register.

For MS products, You uninstall applications in one machine before you install the app in the new machine. First copy all of your documents.

This may not be necessary for Corel products. You can ask Corel's tech support to see if they demand that you go the uninstall-reinstall route, but I would.

One exception to the "move" idea is that you can Save your Personal Workspace & copy/move that to the new installation.
