Default Nero 5 OEM > Nero 6 Full

I can't seem to find an answer to this and my e-mail to Nero has not yet
been returned. Hopefully someone here has already taken this plunge and can
answer this question....
If you own an OEM ver of Nero 5 that will only support the brand of drive
that it was bundled with, which is the version I have, and you buy the
UPGRADE license to Nero 6, will it require you to install it over
your existing Nero 5 OEM, and give you a Nero 6 that only works with one
brand of drive, or will you wind up with a ver of Nero 6 that will now work
with any supported drive?

Thanks in advance,

Steve Z.

My drive came with a version of Nero 5 that was to only support the brand
of drive i had. I got Nero 6
and it works flawlessly. I never even installed the Version 5. If you do get
the version 6, I'd uninstall the older version first. If there was a problem
then you could always uninstall 6 and reinstall 5 and update over it. I 'd
try a clean install first.

So you got the Nero 6 UPGRADE, correct? NOT the FULL license? You didn't
have to do anything to prove that you were entitled to that? It didn't make
you insert the old ver 5 CD during the install or anything?? Seems hard to
believe Ahead would just trust us all on the honor system here, but I guess
it's possible...

The upgrade license should have a serial number. Download version 6, install
and put in the serial number. It should then work with any drive unlike the
OEM version.
