Re: Do I really need to upgrade

I think you would need to do all the latest updates because I believe among other things it needs the latest Version of Windows Media Player.

But again you should always be able to restore your computer to a previous date so just create a restore point before you start. Also don't do it if you have a show in the next couple of days.
Roy, you have accurately described the exact way our "new upgrade" scripts work. You can install ANY version with an INSTALL DATE prior to your Upgrade Expired Date. So, you can install 4.32 any time in the future. It will NOT expire. You won't be able to install any releases in the future until you upgrade. I'd wait for 5.00 if I were you, or stay with 4.10 since its working for you.

Roy is right about creating a "Restore Point" before upgrading Windows or Hoster.

Sorry Dale, I guess I haven't kept you fully informed. It all works off the Install Date of a Release and the Customers Upgrade Expire Date.

If Version Install Date < Upgrade Expire Date, you can install that Version.

You can find your Upgrade Expire Date FOR EACH REGCODE in your MTU Account.

You can find the Version Install Dates for Hoster at: http://www.mtu.com/upgrades/hoster.htm#Versions
