The NZ Protel agents are offering users of earlier version an upgrade to the latest version at what seems to me to be an extremely good price. A similar offer may well be in effect in other countries. The offer applies until December 24th. The NZ price for the full version is substantially lower than the US price (due no doubt to our weak dollar relative to the US and the consequent unlikelihood of people buying it here at "full price". ) The upgrade offer apparently applies to Protel versions of ANY age. If you have a really old version, used or not, it could be viable to upgrade it and resell it, provided the licence allows.
