I still have version 1.5 can I upgrade to 2.5 using the free download?

Yup!

How? Se 2.0was a $400 upgrade from 1.5, wasn't it? I still have 1.5 for that reason.

What I meant was, assuming you've "purchased" SE2.0, you can upgrade from 1.5.x to 2.5.

Some people have bought SE2.0 but because of the issues when it came out, reverted back to SE1.5.x. So with that in mind, the answer to the question is, yes.

I'm not sure, but I'm almost certain they wouldn't need to re-install 2.0 as long as they're 2.0 licence key was valid. But I might be wrong.

I suspect that's what Curtis was asking about.

The SE2 Version 2.5 update is free to registered SpeedEdit 2 owners.

If you do not own a registered copy of SpeedEdit2, there is upgrade pricing available for owners of SpeedEdit (versions 1 through 1.55) and VT5. A little web searching can find good prices. I just found one for less than $250. It was advertised at $279 but if you put it in the dealer's online cart you'd see the lower price, likely to minimum advertised price limits.

You may want to think twice about upgrading to SE2.5. I found out the hard way that when I updated to 2.5 from 2.1, I could not use my VT5 system anymore since they took out the capability code. I have uninstalled 2.5 and went back to 2.1 so I could use the SE on my laptop when I am away and when I return, I could dump the files onto my main editing computer and pick up where I left off. Newtek must have a reason for doing this, but I cannot figure why they made the effort to do this or maybe it might be that it was a lot of effort to make it compatible. Anyway, the day is coming soon where I will have to abandon the VT system and go to another platform like Adobe or Avid to utilize the latest technology for video input and output.
