The upgrade is a full install of Anime Studio 8, around 400 MB.

It installs new content as well as AS 8.

So what's the difference between ASP8 upgrade for ASP7 to full ASP8?

I did buy only the upgrade.

and where i install the upgrade? (in ASP7 folder or stand-alone)

the difference is probably just the price based on you having an AS7 serial number... the installer is probably the same

Yeah, the upgrade is the full install for 8, same install file.

It installs itself into its own directory, so You could have both 7 and 8 installed, which I recommend at first.

Keep 7 installed, keep working in it, but install 8 as well, so You can go through the new version and get acquainted with it before loading your working files in it.

Just a suggestion of course!

I removed ASP7 because of ASP8 Upgrade which mad it's own folder and i'm very confused. If this thing made my ASP8 to be illegal or not?

i have both asp7 and 8 serials.

so how i re-download asp7 to make asp8 legal copy?

AS7 and AS8 are independent of each other.
Even if you purchase an upgrade from version 7 to version 8. What you get is a fully independent new software with its own serial number.

You cannot make your own copy of Anime Studio become Illegal by messing with your installs. You are free to install and uninstall as needed on your personal computers.

You could make your serial Illegal by sharing the serial number with others or installing on a public computer that someone else whom you didn't know, then took the serial and used it elsewhere. If you are working on your own personal computers, this wouldn't be a problem though.

I recommend registering the product when you first install it, then Smith Micro has a record that it was you who bought it and that Serial number XX is yours.

Have fun with the software

I hope you enjoy using version 8.

Thanks.

But i don't know why the ASP8 upgrade don't require ASP7 and the upgrade is more like full version but in low price?

its like upgrading an orange to an orange shaped banana - you can't change the orange into a banana, so you have to be given a banana that just looks like an orange instead.

Distinct sun says it's ok to keep the orange, incase you don't like banana - but don't leave the peel laying around, you might slip over.
