It's even better than that. The ATS price for P98, until the end of December, is $1595. >If you purchased 99SE after Oct 1, you get the next version FREE.

Sure, recent purchasers pay $8K and get ATS. but July - September purchasers also paid $8K. The price, as I recall, was $6K until July 1. >If you purchased 99SE before Oct 1, you get to PAY for the next >version. Price is indeterminate, but they suspect $1995. Now, here is what is really strange. Right now, if I had a P98 license, I could get ATS, which includes P99SE plus Phoenix, for $1595. But because I paid to upgrade 98 to 99SE way back, I will have to pay $1995? As I said, a very good deal for 98 licensees. I'm just concerned about the 99SE users, the core constituency. I'd think about $1500 tops, $995 would be better. Less would pretty clearly be too little.... As to renewal ATS in a year, I'm not going to worry too much about it now.
