and the company is pretty tight-fisted when it comes to software. We bought
one FM 9 upgrade for evaluation, as it turns out, a week before FM 10 was
released. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

true.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Frame 7.2?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I am in a small company with not really any justification to move to Frame
8 or 9. Frame7 seems sufficient for what we need, and they do have quite a tight
budget.</DIV>
<DIV>However, now I understand that even if I want to, moving to Frame 10 is not
an upgrade, but purchase a new license.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are others in the same boat?</DIV>
<DIV>Is there any point in trying to get an upgrade to version 9, and then at a
later point upgrading again?<BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>Carrie Baker<BR><A
