Two parts out of nine have been released for download, so to reduce the peak load on the server. You may want to download and store them in a temporary folder already. Also here are the Release Notes.

Thank you Ssnake, the release notes are impressive and I enjoyed reading them. Looking forward to it's release.

SSnake, this is a free update, correct? I thought on your website it stated there was a charge of $25.00, like the last update or did I misread the website? Thanks all for tolerating a riduculous question seeing all the files but part two on here.

Matt

No it's not free. Pricing has not been announced yet but I'd guess it will be something like 25$ for the download-only version and 30$ for the DVD+download option.

You will be able to install the new version (since the update is stand-alone) without a dongle with a valid licence, but you will not be able to start up the sim!

BTW it seems like release will be on thursday..

It's $25.- for the new license, and $32.- for the DVD + new license option. In any case you can download the files as you already discovered. I will send out our newsletter once more with all the details, as soon as everything is ready.

Is there a charge to upgrade additional licenses on a single stick. For example, what will the charge be to upgrade a stick that has three additional lan licenses?

Thanks.

From what I've heard (=unofficial) Yes. Upgrading an additional licence costs 5$ per licence. You can upgrade these secondary licences at a later time as well.

RETRO... thx a mil for keeping that one thread updated with all the downloads in one post... you the man.

OK, I'll ask here in-case others are wondering too.

So we will pay for the upgrade by buying the 1st file correct?

when released will it be an exe to install the other files, or do we need to unzip each of the files first?

If you buy the DVD/CD version, you still get the download version so not to wait?

I have 2 dongles, one on my desktop and one for my laptop, so do i need to buy 2 more license for the upgrade, or one upgrade will work on both. (I don't like swapping my dongles, lol)

and finally... I need to purchase 3 upgrades as gifts for others, can I put that all on one order, or is it best to make separate orders and have them shipped to the individuals?

Thx.

looking forward to the release any second now...hopefully.
