New XPS 15, shortly after booting to Windows, a Sonic Solutions license agreement appears. From Googling, it appears this is related to Roxio. Pre-installed on the XPS 15 are:
Roxio Creator Starter
Roxio Burn
Is either of these a full version, or are both trial versions?
I want to uninstall all the trial software. Too bad I can't find a list of the trial stuff that comes on the XPS 15, as that would make it easier to decide what to remove.

all dell system come with many rabbish ware, better clean install what do you want.

Doesn't answer the question.

Alinad rarely does... That said a clean install would be better than removing a few things, but it's your system.
The Roxio software should be full versions. But as I wiped mine out immediately (I prefer lighter footprint CD burning software myself, much of it free) I can't double-check for you. -
Thanks for the reply.
I found further information. In addition to Roxio Creator Starter and Roxio Burn, Sonic provides Sonic Cine Player Decoder Pack.
I don't know if I need any of those. I have other media players that I use.
What CD/DVD burner do you like?
I read many threads here about the XPS 15, and many experienced users said that their XPS did not have an overwhelming amount of unwanted stuff. As such, they felt that uninstalling the unwanted applications was probably fine, as opposed to a clean install.
A Sony Vaio I worked on a couple of years ago had much more crapware, so for it I did a clean install. -
madmattd: What CD/DVD burner do you like?
-
For just simple burning I like CDBurnerXP. It will burn ISOs, CD/DVD data discs, and whatever, and is only like 15-20MB versus 200. There are plenty of others out there, I just found that one about 5 years ago and haven't looked since.

Thanks.
reply too short, adding characters
Sonic Solutions license: for trial ware or full use version?
