Here is the full detailed instructions that will work for everyone!!
NOTE: You DO NOT NEED to uninstall previous versions of Camtasia.
NOTE: You DO NEED to firewall block the 2 EXE files of all installed versions.
Example: If you had Camtasia 7 and Camtasia 8 and install Camtasia 9, you firewall block all
Magic Button :
<install dir 7.x.x>\CamtasiaStudio.exe
<install dir 7.x.x>\CamRecorder.exe
<install dir 8.x.x>\CamtasiaStudio.exe
<install dir 8.x.x>\CamRecorder.exe
<install dir 9.x.x>\CamtasiaStudio.exe
<install dir 9.x.x>\CamRecorder.exe
NOTE: I have added a link to a FREE host file manager program called HostMan.
This is because a lot of new antivirus and firewall programs either protect or hide or replace the hosts file so a newbie cannot change it or even find it. Using this small program in administrator mode, everyone can make the host file changes, whether the hosts file is visible or not.
NOTE: For your own piece of mind, DOWNLOAD both the files BEFORE disabling your antivirus software.

Thanks for listing out the instructions. I would probably use a different smaller footprint firewall than you suggested but other then that, you instructions are great.
It seems that Techsmith has put in other protection which I think can be overcome if someone can figure out the dlls that need modified or create a cracked exe file with the fix.
