Okay - once around the block for those who came in late.
When Quicktime v.7 was introduced a few years back, many of us who
paid for QT6 Pro licenses didn't wish to again pay for QT7 pro licenses.
Luckily we found, to our amazement, that you can install QT7 on your
machine and still use the QT player you licensed with QT6. You still
got access to most (all?) QT7 features, the only difference being
that you didn't use the QTPlayer which came with QT7, but rather the
older QTPlayer you licensed with v6.
This was discussed a lot on the QTVR mailing list at the time, and I
was one of many who made use of this knowledge to happily run QT7 and
the v6.51 player on my (at the time) Mac OSX 10.3.x machine. I could
and did edit QT tracks, add sound sprites etc., all under QT7.
Now, with the release of v7.2 a couple of days ago, this "trick"
appears to be no longer possible. Install QT v7.2 and (presumably)
older - licensed - versions of the QTPlayer won't any longer give
access to the pro features. You now need to purchase a QT7 pro license.
My authority for this? The text warning shown in the "Software
Update" panel:
"Important Notice to QuickTime Pro Users
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."
Hence my much shorter post this morning.

That is not NEW
the QT 6 Pro license is not valid for QtPro 7.x

How about non-Intel apps? Everything there is native, as far as I
can see.
... except has anyone else noticed that with QT v7.2 you are
forced to purchase a v7 'Pro' license, if you wish to continue
using pro features?
I.E. with v7.2 you cannot use older non v7 QT players which you
have already paid a Pro license for (in my case v6.51).
