Basically, early buyers got a higher discount as they tolerated the bugs that are inevitable in any new release. They spent time helping us identify the bugs and rough edges, so you don't have to go through what they did.

Also, those who are "later" upgraders, require more support than the early buyers.... thus, the price went up.

i understand, if not for my sp3 problem i would have upgraded when the new version came out..

You could have bought the upgrade when 4.0 FIRST came out. You just didn't need to install it.

Purchasing the Upgrade at the lower price, "early on," which, at the time, didn't state anything about being a tester, as a result of buying at the "Lower Price," would have given you the "NEW" Registration Code, which goes with 4.0 and above.

Once you were satisfied that ANY current version of 4.xx was stable, you could have installed the "Original" 4.0 version, using the new REG CODE, and, then, simply, installed the CURRENT version as a F R E E Upgrade.

For me, when I see that a NEW REG CODE is needed, it makes me wonder Why a "NEW REG CODE?" Makes me think that I may be giving up all rights to PREVIOUS versions with the PRIOR Reg Code(s).

I would rather Pay the FULL Price for 4.xx, under a family members name, and keep everything intact for the Previous versions.

You might want to consider, for the future, downloading an update when it's available. You don't have to "install" it just because you downloaded it. I almost didn't get any 4.0x because of all the reported problems, but Dale suggested I get it anyway & just install it on my backup for practice. I'm glad I did, as it only cost $69, so now I got 4.04 for free.

MTU really is GREAT with prices and updates!!!!!

But, I am guilty of being impatient at times.
