Hi gang - probably a stupid question but here goes. If I want to upgrade to version 4.0, do I need to pay for the full package or can I just upgrade from 3.8.5? Thanks!
The upgrade price on VB4 is only $20 cheaper then the full version. You may be better off to buy a new full version of 4.0 and sell your 3.8 license... it's a risk and a headache but it could work out better in the end.
Does that mean I would have to buy another license then for 4.0? I can't just upgrade without paying any additional costs?
If you still have a valid 3.8 license you can download and run 4.0.7 but your license will soon expire so you won't ever be able to uprade past whatever version you were last able to download (likely 4.0.7)... if you ever wanted 4.1 or 4.2 you'll need to pay the upgrade fee.
I didn't know there were any active 3.8 licesnes left. (Besides the 3 month extension they offered.)
You probably have a lifetime license for 3.8 so it sounds funny when I say it expires or expired because you can still run it... However the ability to download upgrades expires... if you didn't buy the "3 month" extension recently offered your license is valid but updates have surely expired. If you go to your downloads area you can still download and install whatever the latest 4.0.x version was when your license 'expired' but you will not be able to ever upgrade past that version without buying the VB4 upgrade or a new VB4 license.
