I encourage you to also contact the Customer Service people and look at the best possible options for upgrading and getting an SMA at the same time. And of course, make sure you are on the Home Edition if you qualify. When your license has fallen behind 2 or more years, it can get very pricey to get caught up which is why the SMA program is so good. For Home Edition, it works out to about $60 per year. Anyway, please talk to Customer Service and make sure you know the best options.
