I think it was resolved in the vfp9 EULA that the requirement to drop the old version was dropped -
AFAIR I read it in a blog...

>I don't think that is correct. If you purchase an upgrade, you are upgrading to a newer version and you can no longer user the old one. There was a lengthy discussion on this about the time Whil Hentzen and Microsoft got into a "disagreement" over using VFP in Linux.

>>Yes you are eligible for upgrade to VFP9. Yes you can continue to use VFP8 after installing VFP9.
