Quicktime 7.0.4 in Software Update

Sorry Mike, didn't realise I had to be so familiar with Software Updates before qualifying to post a point of view on here, and that no other reader would find this useful. I'll make sure I don't make the same mistake again, I certainly don't want to offend anyone with my unexcusable ignorance.

For Pete's sake, people! It's the same message as has been on *every* QT7 update, verbatim!

Looking at it again, it does actually seem as though current Quicktime 7 Pro users won't have to pay again to get pro functionality back, although I'm not 100% sure. Either way, the message on Software Update could be made a LOT clearer. It reads:

>>
Important Notice to QuickTime Pro Users
Installation of QuickTime 7 will disable the QuickTime Pro functionality in prior versions of QuickTime, such as QuickTime 5 or QuickTime 6. If you proceed with this installation, you must purchase a new QuickTime 7 Pro key to regain QuickTime Pro functionality. After installation, visit www.apple.com/quicktime to purchase a QuickTime 7 Pro key.

dw, are you sure about that, or maybe you're just misreading the description?

In the past, it's been common for users to have to purchase a new license for an *upgrade* of Quicktime, like moving from Quicktime 6 to Quicktime 7. But this is an *update*, and those (to my knowledge) have never required a purchase of a new license code.

Seconded. That's really taking the p1$$

Incredibly you have to purchase another pro license if you're a pro user and want to use 7.0.4's pro features.
