Upgrade from Parallel Studio to Intel C++ Studio XE

[Goran_N]

Hi,
I have an *expired* Parallel Studio license and I am considering to renew, or to see if it is possible to upgrade to Intel C++ Studio XE. I saw the upgrade price of $399 but I am not sure if I would qualify. What are my options?
Thanks.

Thank you, but I was talking about this (from the page you suggested):
"Existing customers can take advantage of limited time special upgrade prices for Intel Parallel Studio XE or Intel C++ Studio XE."

When I go to that page, I get a list of Eligible Products to upgrade to Intel C++ Studio XE which is what I would like:

Intel C++ Studio XE for Windows*

$1499

$599

$399

$1999

$3999

Windows versions of: Intel C++ Compiler Pro, Intel MKL, Intel IPP, Intel TBB, Intel VTune Analyzer, Intel Thread Checker.

However, I don't see just Parallel Studio 2011, which is what I have (it does include TBB and IPP but I am still not sure if I can upgrade for $399 or not).

Can I upgrade from Parallel Studio 2011 to Intel C++ Studio XE for $399? Yes or no?
