I currently have IVF Standard Edition 10, purchased just over 2 years ago. Support expired 15 Aug 2008. I would like to upgrade to IVF Professional Edition 11.1. It's unclearif I am eligible to get the upgrade by purchasing a support renewal(at $280). Am I eligible for support renewal, or must I purchase the full product at $699?

Just to make sure I understand this... By extending support to 8/15/2009, which was 12 days ago, I will be able to upgrade to IVF 11.1 today??

Ned,

The latest Version: 11.1 Build: 038 was released in July, so you should be able to use this version.
The rule is: As long as the build date of the product is less than the expiration date of the license, you should be able to install it.

Greetings Ned,

Yes, you may extend your support to 8/15/2009 by purchasing a renewal. This will give you the ability to upgrade to the newest product release.

Ned,

Also, if you wish to extend for another year, 8/15/2010, you could purchase a second renewal. This would still be less expensive than purchasing a new full product. You would then be able to recieve all newer product releases during that period.
