Charlest30 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I have upgraded to Roxio Pro8 from Pro7. Can I now pass the Roxio 7 DVD to someone else to install and register on their computer and in their name, or must I first de-register Roxio 7 myself somehow?

Sorry , the EULA prohibits you from selling your old software to anyone else. (Note: it takes a lot of electrons to download the hard work of probably a lot of lawyers). Since you can't sell it there is no need to deregister it. Past experience has shown that some of the new things are not as good as the old things so it is better to have both on your computer for awhile.

Brendon Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Forgive me interrupting, but I would suggest that it's better to remove NXT7 before you install NXT8. The new version will remove parts of the old, but it seems very easy for the software to get tangled. Our friend MalateKid had problems installing 8 over the top of 7, and it took some work for him to sort the snarl-up. If the versions are close together, "There be Dragons!!" Uninstall the old first.

Charlest30 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Thank you Brendon, a very useful piece of advice indeed, and kind of you intervene. I have learnt from bitter experience over the years to always uninstall earlier versions of programmes (via Control Panel) before installing the new. I make sure to tell family members, friends etc. to do the same, rather than merely deleting the programme files via File Explorer. I do not usually participate in forums, but I am a long-time user of PCs, and earlier computer systems (my first was a Commodore 64 around 1982) and am now in my late 70s. Nonetheless, it is refreshing to know that there are experienced people out there imparting their knowledge and experience. Keep up the good work, it is appreciated. Incidentally, my NXTPro8 is working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
