could somebody tell me how to use an older premium version i want to use 5573 but when i install it and try to use it the upgrade splash screen appears and i cannot use the program.
also, can i use 2 verions on the same computer i.e. 5573 was good for me but i would like to experiment with x.265 i hear it is good,so i would like to use 5608 too.
i have a powerful computer i.e. i7 3770 processor, 32 gig ram.
thanks

Re: USE OLD VERSION
Not sure if it's possible to run two different versions on one computer, especially if you try to use the same MediaCoder ID on each one. You can try this though. When you're installing the second version, don't use the default install directory otherwise it will overwrite the other version. And don't register the MediaCoder ID on the second one otherwise the server might detect two instances and might revoke it or whatever happens.
As for using an older Premium version, I have no idea as I don't use Premium. Stanley replied in your other thread to just upgrade so it might be that Premium users are forced to upgrade after a certain period?

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

Re: USE OLD VERSION
yes i think you maybe right about premium being forced to upgrade.altough i cannot understand the logic as stanley has said in other articles and the advice section if you find a version that is good stick to it,yet this is impossible for premium users...
Re: USE OLD VERSION
You may be right about having two versions linked to the same ID (not good).
However, I have Premium 5600 and it does NOT request that I upgrade -- I use the usual trick, as explianed in the Guide on Presets, when setting up the Starter Preset..
Also, I have had up to 5 different builds installed on my PC at any one time (for testing).
This I did by installing them as portable versions. This is explained in the Guide on MediaCoder versions, IDs etc.
Currently, I have Premium 5600 installed and build 5150 as a portable.
I suggest you shouldn't have two Premium versions installed, as above.
