99SE user here.  No calls here yet.  But we don't have a lot of licenses.

Way to go Altium, remove another incentive for me to upgrade, why don't you? You may think you are pressuring me into upgrading now, but what you are really doing is removing my incentives to upgrade when I am ready (later). If I get no discount for being a previous Protel user, and face a big new learning curve anyway, I might choose something else. There was an article on gEDA in Circuit Cellar Ink a few months back, IIRC.

As far as never setting a date, I think it's a case of Altium throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks and what doesn't. In otherwords, Altium's Standard Operating Procedure (ASOP). When Altium tells you something, it's likely just another ASOP fable ;-)

Hi guys,
        Well I got a personal call from Altium this week to advise me of 
changing policies. As of June/July, all upgrade paths from P99SE (or earlier 
versions) to DXP will revert to full retail cost ($11,000). Why do they never 
have a set date when they call you, this is definitely a pattern?

        Have the rest of you "hold-outs" been getting calls as well? Or are 
they just targeting the prime targets with greater numbers of licenses, so far.

Sincerely,
