I bought this review as an upgrade to 7.0. I have several thousand photos catalogged in 7.0

The install was not clean. I keep my database on my network, and the instructions for install were unclear as to how to configure the install to go find the existing database. Next I managed to get into some infinite loop of ACDSEE quitting because it couldn't find the database- but there is no way to launch the program to change the location. Off to the help forums-which provided some help, but still took a lot of file searching to clean out the install. The uninstall feature does not clean up after itself.

Finally get through all that, and try to rebuild my database adding image thumbnails. Got through about 2/3 of my pictures and consistently crashed. Watching the memory allocation, it appears to have some sort of memory leak- just keeps grabbing more and more memory. 7.0 did not do this.

At that point I gave up, reinstalled 7.0 (again after having to manually clean up files from PRO).

The good news is they gave me a refund without a lot of trouble.

May try the upgrade again in a few months- if it looks like the version number has moved. Or wait for Adobe to get a product out.

Essentially this is ACDSee Photo Manager 9 with a few changes. This program isn't worth the time lost and trouble caused. Crashes too frequently and lags the system, it's a resource hog before you even start working. I switched to irfanview and Photoshop Elements to duplicate most of the "pro" features listed in this app.
