Hi Gang
Was wondering if there were any advantages/disadvantages to buying a used '7 Upgrade' for 6 vs. buying a Full Retail used FCP7? I believe a used Upgrade version sells for a bit cheaper on Amazon and Ebay.
Of course the important factor to either purchase is to deal with a Seller who genuinely knows how to De-Activate his software before he sells it to you.
Thank you

The only difference is that you need a previous version for the upgrade to work. It needs the previous versions serial number...and that's it. Other than that, they are identical.

As long as it is legit, if you have a prior installation of a full version of FCP and the serial number for that prior installation - then upgrade software will install all the same stuff the full version would install.

That's because it was originally less expensive, and it requires a previous full installation, so it is useful to a smaller market.

There is nothing to de-activate and no procedure to do so.
