"The purchased download version of Xara Xtreme Pro will expire shortly, please install as soon as possible."

This startup message appeared two days ago.

I am not sure I understand what is going on here. When I got the disk in the mail several weeks ago, I registered and input my serial number. The procedure I've followed for the last few years when I've upgraded.

I did try to re-install over the top of my current installation so that, hopefully, I would not loose any of my custom settings. However, there was no option for this nor one to specify a path and the installation dialog simply quit on me.

Can someone clarify if I really need to uninstall first or what my alternatives are?
