I agree and disagree. Isn't the idea of buying an UPGRADE to upgrade an existing license to a license of the new version? Doesn't that mean you only have a license to 1 product. If you buy an upgrade of Word, you can't use the old version on one computer and the new version on another computer.

Is there actually an 'upgrade' of VFP 8.0? Or, are we buyung a new version and getting a discount cause we owned the previous version?

>IMO, this is doesn't make sense and is not a very good practice for developers as they typically need to have several versions installed. Some people have posted here that they won't upgrade for this very reason. I can see how this might work for Office and other products, but to require a developer to spend additional money to get the full version of the product so they can support all clients and custom apps is not a good solution.

>>I original post on this was incorrect. Upgrade license requires that customers uninstall the older product and use only the new product. As part of incentive that customers get by buying an upgrade, this is a restriction that Microsoft puts.
