Hello, This is a stand alone program. I had a trial version of the PD software on my computer when I bought it, and I decided I liked it so much I'd get the full version. It was money well spent. The Power Director software is not as complex as the competitors, yet for the money this is a REALLY complete package. I'm very happy with the purchase. Just be sure and go online and get the updates after you install the program out of the box. Happy movie making!

To take advantage of the program upgrades on win 8.1 you might need the newer version of Microsoft works. If you have the program, you can try to install it on windows 8.1, if the program is not supported the system will tell you.

I installed the upgrade from FP and it went fine. I did not have FP installed and it did not ask for the program disk or the product key. I'm guessing it will work for you as well.

I'm also looking for this upgrade but I have a feeling we've been given bad information. I don't see anywhere on the VMware website about a free upgrade for recently purchased product. Only a paid upgrade. Chris L, where is it that you are entering your serial number online?

They do not automatically update. You need to load an upgrade and it is not free, although the price is fairly reasonable. It is recommended that you do this every other year or so. I agree with Stephen, Marios is fantastic with his customer support, it is second to none. I too highly recommend this software.

As is the case with most software, the version changes annually so last years edition won't be viable for this year (SUCKS!) Every copy I've purchased, both disc and download, was licensed for one computer only. A hidden subroutine key identifies your computer with the a specific copy of the software so if you attempt to install it on multiple machines, when it goes for updates, you'll be flagged for running without a license. I have, however, processed up to four return files for different individuals, then printed the returns out.

I believe the software "upgrade" will. We have the standard software wanted to see if we like it before we spent more money. So far so good (7 months using the program). Might upgrade in 2014.

Yes, this confuses me too. I have PS Elements 3 which, from another question, I understand is acceptable if I want to upgrade to Elements 10, but why do so if I can purchase a fresh install for much less?

It was very easy to upgrade to 8.1, just went to Microsoft, searched for "8.1" and scrolled down to the "RT" VERSION. The process is takes about an 90 min, it is very hands off. The system will initially behave as a fresh install, but once your original account and password is entered it will behave as you had set up.

You don't need to upgrade at all. Win 8 pro is more for officer people. Win 8 and win 8 pro are no different for us

Mine was not upgraded and it is very disappointing. This oversight is an enormous negative and I would recommend that they voluntarily its sale until this problem is corrected. I wish I had never purchased it - for this reason specifically!

Just connect via a wireless connection and download it for free. It was automatically tell you an upgrade is available in the settings.

All I know about 8.1 is that it is an upgrade after you install 8-if you do not want 8.1 don't upgrade. If have done it- not sure how to remove it--I would contact Microsoft. This upgrade program will only work on one computer-has one product key-you would have to buy another product key to install it on another computer.

The others were windows 8, but that could change any time. Upgrading only requires a decent internet connection - the download is almost 4GB. It's free.If the upgrade doesn't show up right away in the windows store, install all of the windows updates you can install until there aren't any more. It should show up in the store as a part of the windows updates.

I bought V4 earlier this year and it automatically upgraded to V5 when it looked for updates online. I haven't noticed any major differences since upgrading.
