How about this:
Notice to 1.0 registered users. Please accept our sincere apologies
concerning the license issue for 2.0. Due to unforeseen positive magazine
reviews concerning our product we were forced to bring 2.0 to market before
we were able to get new keys made and sent to the registered users of 1.0.
Please note that you have not been forgotten and we are in the process of
generating new keys as quickly as possible. All registered users of 1.0 will
be getting updated keys by December 15th. We thank you in advance for your
patience and understanding and thank you again for buying our product!
I dont know, just an idea but is sure sounds alot better than " You paid for
Win4Lin 1.0 and are getting a free upgrade to 2.0. This is more than many
companies do. If you noticed, the cost of 2.0 has gone up, so you are
getting a deal as well." blah blah blah.
Going to go crawl back under my rock now... Cheers!
