ok i read it and i am confused, it says " 1.) video hoster software installed in 2 comp. $299..2) video hoster upgrade from prior version $170.

Note: .......customer require a prior version be installed "
are they talking about all the prior versions of 4.xxx? or all the versions?

sorry ....so if i wanted to get the new version i'll be paying the $299 ? since i dont have the 4.xxxx? i'm sorry, i'm kinda slow on understanding these prices..

If you want a totally new license it is $229 (not $299) or you can buy the upgrade for $170 for "any prior version." That means any thing from 1.0 to 3.321. If you purchased any of the 4.0,4.01,4.02 or 4.03 then it is a free upgrade.

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.
