Yes, I've done this. In my case, rather than giving them an unrestricted build of the old version, I provided a page where people could fill in a form and get a free copy. The page also told them about what version 2 has to offer, with a link to buy the upgrade, or get a discount on the new version: <http://www.dejal.com/license/freebie/?special=macformat08> (Feel free to grab a copy if you like!) It was a reasonable marketing idea, which did generate a number of upgrade sales. And publicity is always welcome. -- David Sinclair, Dejal Systems, LLC - [email protected] Dejal blog - http://www.dejal.com/blog/ Cocoa code - http://www.dejal.com/developer/ Twitter - http://twitter.com/dejal/
