Quote - > Quote - If you own Pro and 8, the upgrade price until March 31st is $50.
Yes, got that, but the question is what does that mean for the P8 license used in this upgrade scheme: Can I keep using it and upgrade it to P9 afterwards?
If yes, it's a very good deal and I'm buying ASAP.
If not, it's a very bad deal (as I said above, $249 instead of $179.99).Quote - Full details on Pro will come shortly - but we wanted to kick off the Poser family sale and wanted to pre-answer any questions about the upgrade pricing for now.
Okay, I'll wait till the dust settles and SM make up their minds.
You can upgrade and sidegrade freely with discounts between the product lines.
Your Poser 8 will still be eligible for upgrading to Poser 9, using it to get your extra discount on Poser Pro 2010 if you own Poser Pro will not burn your serial.
In addition, if you own Poser 6, 7, or 8 and choose to purchase Poser Pro (or 2010) as a sidegrade, that leaves your Poser 8 still eligible for upgrades to Poser 9 in the future.
My apologies for the confusion between buy and upgrade - there is a sale on both full and upgrade versions for both lines for the month of March. Those who buy Poser Pro before the 2010 launch will get a free upgrade to 2010, since as with usual Smith Micro policy, any purchase within 30 days of a new version qualifies for the newer version free. Poser 8 purchases do not qualify for free upgrades to Poser Pro 2010.
