'''Thanks for considering an upgrade'''. JRiver Media Center 18 is our latest and best. |
|||
You can '''upgrade for $17.98''' from any version all the way back to Media Center 10, or from Media Jukebox 8. |
|||
(If you purchased MC17 after July 10, 2012, you received an MC17 license that works with both MC16 and MC17. You can just download and install MC17.) |
|||
Once you have upgraded, any subsequent build of MC17.0 is free. Just download and install it. |
|||
== New Features == |
|||
Here are some of the [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=66848.0 new features] in MC17. |
|||

|||
Shown above -- [http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Netflix Netflix] in MC17. |
|||
== How to Upgrade and Purchase == |
|||
1. '''[http://www.jriver.com/download.html Download] and install JRiver Media Center 17.0'''. MC17 can co-exist with MC11.1, or newer, and it can convert old libraries to the new format. MC17 will automatically find and install your MC16 library and settings. It can also restore a backup made from MC15, including settings. |
|||
2. To purchase, you will choose "Buy" from MC17's Help menu. You should see these prices: First time purchase: $49.98 or Upgrade purchase: $26.98). If you see the upgrade price, you're ready to go -- just purchase. If you see the full price, but you believe you should see an upgrade price, you can [http://www.jriver.com/purchase.html restore] your old license in MC17, or you can install an [http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Old_Versions old version] and license it. Also see "Problems with Vista and Win7" below. |
|||
== Alternate Purchase Method == |
|||
If you prefer to install MC17 later, you can still purchase an upgrade license now by using the [http://www.jriver.com/purchase_17_as_upgrade.html Alternate Method]. It does not require installation of MC17. |
|||
== Recovering Your License == |
|||
* You can restore your license for any version back to MJ8, by using the Registration Code you received by e-mail from buy-button at jriver. You can enter it on the [https://rover.jriver.com/cgi-bin/restore.cgi Restore Page]. |
|||
* If you can't find the e-mail, you can use the Restore Page option #2 to ask our license server to e-mail you your licenses. You can also change your e-mail address there if necessary. |
|||
* If you have questions, please post on [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=67143.0 Interact]. |
|||
== Converting Old Libraries == |
|||
You may chose to start fresh and let Media Center import your files. Performance may seem a little slow until this is completed. |
|||
Media Center can also read and convert some older MC libraries. This is automatic for MC15 or MC16 libraries and settings. For older libraries, make a backup from the old version and restore it in Media Center. Backup and restore are under File/Library. |
|||
MC17 can also copy your settings from MC16. This is automatic when MC17 first starts and can also be done when you restore an MC16 library (under File/Library). |
|||
Old versions of MC can be found [http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Old_Versions here]. |
|||
== Problems with Vista and Win7 == |
|||
Windows UAC can cause a problem for MC13 and older versions. If you don't see an upgrade price in MC17, please try this: |
|||
1. Install MC17. |
|||
2. Run it and use it to restore your older MC license. |
|||
3. In the Help menu, select the Buy option. You should see the upgrade price. |
|||
== For More Help == |
|||
If you have any questions, please post on [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=67143.0 Interact]. |
|||
Thanks for your interest in JRiver Media Center! |
