-How exactly does this work? I have a leased vB license, which i purchased around april 09. It says i can upgrade too the 4.0 Suite for 130$, but will I then own the license instead of leasing it?

So do you mean that if you use the 'free' upgrade to 4.0 option, you still have to purchase a copy of 4.0 once your current vB version expires? That doesn't make sense.
