oh no..not at all!  The whole point of getting the old software is to make you want the new software!

Give 'em the razor, sell 'em the blades...;)

Trust me, every issue has an upgrade path. Many times you even get a discount on the upgrade. The serial numbers are usually generated by a online web page you register at. Can't tell if they're different, or just the same (one was 'slartbartifast', which gave me a chuckle..;).

As for getting software with back issues, and earlier thread (maybe a year or 2 ago) said you didn't. Either the policy varies by magazine, of they've changed their minds. I was told in that thread that they didn't ship software with back issues.

I've seen some art mags at the B&N go for $30-40 a pop, but they're 'art', fancy stuff by fancy names..;)
