Now this may be premature,
but as you have probably noticed on the Netraverse website the statement
"purchase version 2.0 and receive version 3.0 as a free upgrade" is featured.
Keeping this in mind ...
I purchased a version 1.0 "with a free upgrade to version 2.0" and am now
faced with an interesting lack of knowledge on how much the upgrade to
version 3.0 will cost for a version 1.0 purchaser or if I will have to pay
for the full version 3.0 license and dump the version 1.0.
So why would you buy version 2.0 now (being basically only backwards
compatible and not forwards) and get the free upgrade to version 3.0 when you
may be faced with an upgrade pricing issue for version 4.0 later because you
purchased version 2.0 and not version 3.0... see what I mean?
Unless, of course, the version 1.0 purchaser is hit for the same cost as the
version 2.0 purchaser for the upgrade to version 3.0. Then the precedent
would be set for a 2 version jump and equality in pricing... but what a
quandry the version 1.0 purchaser is in when version 4.0 is released... ouch
my head hurts!
Theoretically if a scale of was incorporated for this type of upgrade regime
then it would all work out in the end and by the time you purchased version
10 after originally buying version 1.0 you would be paying full price and
restarting the cycle again.
I guess no matter how you look at it ... someone buying version 2.0 now just
to stake claim to a version 3.0 license would have to be a gambler...
Well I guess I won't buy a copy after all. waiting, waiting, waiting...
