We’re probably mostly going to use the new version anyway, or why else did we upgrade to start with, but I’ve run into at least one upgrade in the past (not DxO) that was such a disaster that I ended up going back to the old version of the software in question. If they’re worried about all the activations we’re accumulating as we upgrade year after year they could limit the total number across versions. What I don’t get is why DxO is bothered about letting us use our previously purchased versions as we see fit. It’s not particularly draconian if you just want to keep PL2 around for comparison while you get used to P元, but you have lost your PL2 license, and you don’t have the freedom to redeploy PL2 as you wish the way you can with Capture One and others, where purchasing an upgrade gives you a license for the new version without affecting your existing license. This is where they stop you: they will not reset the activation counter associated with your PL2 license since you no longer have a PL2 license: you traded it in when you purchased the P元 upgrade.
#DXO PHOTOLAB TO NEW MACHINE INSTALL#
To install PL2 on the new computer you need to have a free activation, and since you’ve already activated PL2 on three computers, you need to contact DxO to free up one of your PL2 activations. The problem is if you now want to install PL2 on some other computer because your existing one has failed, you’ve bought a better one, you want to move PL2 to a lesser computer since you rarely use it now that you have P元, or whatever.
You can still run PL2 Elite on up to three computers even after the P元 upgrade DxO doesn’t prevent you from doing so.
