How to upgrade from 4 to 5? - Club CDFreaks

fenway · 06-05-2008

I am a registered owner of version 4 and want to upgrade to version 5. When I download version 5, does it install into a new directory or does it upgrade version 4? Do I need to uninstall 4 before downloading and installing 5? I have other questions like how do I completely uninstall version 4 (if I need to), but shouldn't there be a sticky at the top of this forum for people like me who just want detailed, step-by-step instructions so we don't mess our configuration up or leave pieces of old program code around. Thanks for your help.

It installs in a new directory. You will also need a new registration key for v5. There are uninstall instructions in the Tutorial or you can find really detailed manual uninstall instructions linked in any post by stormjumper.

Yes, version 4 and 5 and 3 for that matter install themselves in different folders.

Curious, what was the price for Platinum v1, v2, v3 back then?

~Jethro~ · 08-05-2008

I paid 79.00 usd for 1.7.0.8 gold (now called platinum)
