Thank You

Thanks for considering an upgrade. You can upgrade for $20.98 (special price until September 31) from any version all the way back to Media Center 10, or from Media Jukebox 8.

A License That Works with Two Versions

If you purchase MC17 now, OR if you purchased MC17 after July 10, 2012, the license is an MC18 license that works with both MC17 and MC18. You can just download and install MC18 when it becomes available.

Once you have upgraded, any subsequent build of MC17.0 or MC18.0 is free. Just download and install it.

MC18 will be available in a few months. Early Editions will be available on our forum by the end of August.

How to Upgrade and Purchase

If you have never purchased MC17, just download it from the Download Page and purchase from within the program. You will receive an MC18 license that works with both versions on Windows.

If you already own MC17, you can purchase an MC18 upgrade license now by using the Alternate Method. It does not require installation of MC18.

Where to Find MC18

Builds of Media Center 18 are posted on the MC18 board: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=27.0

Look for a thread near the top titled something like 'Media Center 18.0.xxx -- Available Here'.

Recovering Your License

  • Old versions of MC can be found here.
  • 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 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 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.

MC18 can also copy your settings from MC17 or MC16. This is automatic when MC18 first starts and can also be done when you restore an MC16 or MC17 library (under File/Library).

Old versions of MC can be found here.
