Exactly. Which is Eric's point -- you BUY the earlier version, and then
you BUY the upgrade. You don't just buy the upgrade without buying the
earlier version.
I lucked into a deal a number of months ago, through someone on this list.
He was selling an extra, unneeded Frame license for an earlier version.
His company had bought a package deal of some sort and ended up not needing
the full count. I bought the license for the lower version, and then
bought the upgrade from a VAR.
